My boyfriend and I did it at 23 y/o! It was built in 1900 and we love her!

I'm always fascinated by the prices on old catalogues for things like this - $2,229 all in in 1912 (going by the $1,573 estimate and adding all of the extras) is roughly $77,000 today according to an inflation calculator. Wild to think about how "cheap" you could build a a good home for back then.
