If you want to embrace the small-house trend, come on in. At 1,003 square feet, this antique is small, but has a lot to like: beautiful wide pine floors in several rooms, an updated kitchen, new deck, and a farmer’s porch overlooking the wooded back yard. At one time, it was the second-least expensive home for sale in town. One of the three bedrooms doesn’t have a closet — not unusual in an old house. As of presstime, an offer had been accepted on this home.

How’s this for kind of awesome? In summer, you can spend time in the family room with sliders to the deck and pool. In winter, you can opt for the family room with a fireplace. There’s another fireplace in the dining room, a nice feature not seen in many newer homes. The kitchen in this 3,800-square-foot Colonial is two years old; there’s a bedroom and den up on the third floor, and there’s a playroom and workout room in the partly finished basement. As of presstime, an offer had been accepted on this home.
