It’s really not that bad except the paint job every 10-20 years which costs as much as a new car, but back in the day they had oil paint which didn’t peel like latex does. Still, imo, worth it to live in an historic, unique, drag queen of a home.
I suppose if you can afford a house like this you can afford a really nice new car every so often. A really nice car. Because a full scraping, sanding, and repair plus 2-3 color paint can cost over $100,000.

Or … you just develop a hobby of house painting…
You could start a small business just to paint and maintain your own estate.
