And by high end, I mean rehab money spent on architectural details that are in keeping with the historic charm of the surrounding neighborhood. 

@Jonathan Woodruff speaking only for myself, one thing that drives me nuts is people who are typically drawn to the charm and unique qualities of an old home, and then whine about its lack of modernity--- modernity which, by the way, will likely fall out of favor again in a decade or less.

Fortunately that's rare and it works like a charm the rest of the time.

Some homeowners want houses with the 'old neighborhood' charm and character.

Works like a charm!

Just made everything else new and kept the charm.  

I sold a house with two front doors that was built in the 1850s, it was part of the original charm of the house.

Works like a charm.

I am getting frustrated here with places asking +900 for 'old charm' old building bulls*t...these days they dont even update the kitchen when they ask +700..wth.

The city has charms and quirks that people from outside of Wisconsin would never expect.
