What is the antecedent of the pronoun 'it' in Although it was old and needed a lot of work Carla knew this was the house for her?
The antecedent is "this". Strictly, the "ante" in "antecedent" means "before", and so the antecedent should be in an earlier sentence. But this sentence uses an inversion: "it" comes before the explanation of what "it" is. So there does not need to be an earlier sentence. In fact, this sentence about Carla could even be the first sentence in a novel.
