East Haddam, Conn. | $2.875 Million

A 1732 house with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, on a nine-acre lot

This house sits on a wooded road not far from Gillette Castle State Park, where the main attraction is a medieval-style house built in the early 20th century by the actor William Gillette, surrounded by walking trails and picnic areas. The Hadlyme Ferry Boat Launch, the departure point for ferries crossing the Connecticut River into the town of Chester, is half a mile away.

While the area feels remote, larger cities are within commuting distance: New Haven is about an hour away; Hartford is about a 45-minute drive; and New York City and Boston are about three hours away, depending on traffic.

Size: 3,506 square feet

Price per square foot: $820

From there, a footpath leads to a side entrance with a Dutch door that opens into a kitchen with a beamed ceiling, a Bosch range, black granite counters, tile floors and room for a breakfast table next to windows overlooking the grounds. Behind the kitchen is a mudroom with access to a half bathroom.

Beyond the kitchen is a family room with built-in bookshelves and cabinets. A wood-paneled dining room with a fireplace and a living room with another fireplace are also in this part of the house. Off the living room is a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and heated floors.

From the living room, a staircase leads to three bedrooms on the second floor. At the end of the upstairs hall is the primary suite, which has a bedroom with a fireplace and a bathroom with radiant-heated floors and a glass walk-in shower. Next door is a guest room with original wood paneling and toile wallpaper. Across the hall is another guest room that holds a queen-size four-poster bed. Both guest rooms have en suite bathrooms.

Denver | $2.895 Million

An 1893 Italianate house with five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, on a 0.4-acre lot

Today, the houses are individually owned, but residents still share various amenities, including a pond, a swimming pool and private green space.

The home is just off East Seventh Street, in a neighborhood where historic houses abound, among them the Colorado Governor’s Mansion, built in 1908, and the Adolph Zang Mansion, built in 1903 for a brewery magnate. It is a few blocks from Governors Park, which has public art installations and a children’s playground, and a 10-minute walk from a Trader Joe’s.

Wood-and-glass pocket doors in the foyer open to a formal living room with elaborate crown molding, hardwood floors, a crystal chandelier and a fireplace. In this part of the house, there is also a sunroom used as a den.
