Woodworker.

@Clayton Plank as a woodworker I can appreciate the character of a craftsman style as well.  

Awesome woodwork, nice open main floor dining room and well taken care of.

They just come out of the woodwork when the price is appealing.

Then along comes another with all the features you won't find in a modern home, woodwork, staicases, leaded glass, brick, stone, etc.

What constitutes normal is in the eye of the judge, the longer someone is in there seems the more "damage" they expect from normal and expected living conditions, what a reasonable person might do, what kids might do, hanging pictures, scratches on woodwork and paint fading or getting stains.

Did not get an application from that one ...Now you do have to be mindful of distinguishing deferred maintenance issues (peeling paint on woodwork / walls) from neglect / abuse / carelessness / failure to keep tidy and clean.
