Maintaining a Victorian home

We have been looking for a house in Victorian Flatbush for some time but recently realized we know very little about costs of maintaining one. We are only looking at homes with updated electrical and plumbing. Given that, what sorts of issues are likely to arise? If the house has wood or asphalt siding, does that drive up costs? Is paying for lawn maintenance expensive? Any assistance is most welcome, thanks.
