Sure it's 120 years old.

But on the flipside, its still there after 120 years.

I've seen some old houses way older than that. Usually those standing still have been maintained great or made of brick.

Check out the plumbing

Especially sewage.

When was the last time it was updated or maintained? Almost positive it would be old scaling pipes at that age, so it would catch things easily and cause it to back up easily or at increased risk of collapsing

It needs a lot of work, but also not as much as it might possibly need.

Biggest issues were the fact that even though there is a new roof there was a leak in the old one so the ceilings upstairs have water damage. Also the mortar in the bricks needs repairing in some spots which cause the plaster/drywall inside to crack in some spots. No idea bout the well or septic system without an inspection. Just trying to estimate how much it would cost to fix the problems I noticed so far.

I'm actually a plumber tc, if you have any questions I'll try to help if you want to pm me. I can guarantee your plumbing isnt original though unless you have like cast iron drains or some crazy old shit and even then it would probably have cracked by now.

Biggest thing to look out for in old houses is the foundation and the electric. Make sure its not knob and tube.

Best advice I can give is hire a fucking home inspector. Dont try to save $500 for peace of mimd on a $100,000 purchase.

Advice from an actual plumber is fucking amazing, I'm just going off of personal experiences.
