Lovely old place at an exceptionally good price with a lollapalooza of potential to become a total show-stopper. And really, the only apparent upgrades it needs are updated furnishings/paint/wallpaper, updated fridge and stove in the kitchen (if one could bear to remove any of the plethora of lovely cabinets), cleaning the fireplace surrounds, and some sandblasting on the exterior stone. Considering the price of the house, that’s not much.

Of course there may be other serious issues that aren’t apparent (the complete lack of bathroom pics is concerning). Barring that, though, the only major quandary would be… what to do with a ballroom in this day and age? And there certainly are worse quandaries to be in.
