Original windows vs modern

Jeff H.
Posted Feb 4 2020, 10:16

Howdy BP team - I’m buying a home in ATX as a primary that I’ll likely rent out in a few years. The home was built in the 50’s and still has original windows installed, most of which have been painted shut for energy efficiency. 

I’m thinking about replacing the windows with more modern, efficient and functional windows but everyone seems to coo over the notion of original windows. I didn’t think windows from the 50’s would be noteworthy enough but I’ll admit my ignorance. 

Would I be destroying value (real or perceived) by updating or replacing these windows?
