As Jane said, the roof, the general structure of the house, plumbing and electricity. House #1 sounds fairly ideal based on what you wrote...you didnt say enough about #2, the overall work? the large back yard makes me think of building a "guest house" down the road. if the zoning would permit that. Well dont forget to breathe...and enjoy the process. hey- yeah you need to differentiate between little things you can live with or fix yourself, like the wallpaper, and the things that must be done.

I'd advise against too big a yard, unless you really want to spend ALL weekend gardening. I learned that lesson in our last house. As long as the roof, electrics, plumbing and basement are OK, things like changing the kitchen and the decor can be done later. Liking the neighborhood is really key! Oh and you can live in a kitchen with minimal counter space - been there, done that, twice. You get VEEERY organized is all.
