Manchester, Vt. | $1.15 million

A Victorian-era house from 1890, on 0.4 acres

This five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom house, once an antiques store, could be used as a residence and commercial space. A bookstore, a Thai restaurant and an 18th-century tavern are all within a 10-minute walk. A park with an off-leash dog area, skateboarding facilities and a playground is five-minutes away by car. Parts of the Appalachian Trail are 15 minutes away, and a handful of ski resorts are within 30 minutes.

Albany is an hour and 20 minutes away, the Berkshire region of Massachusetts is a 90-minute drive and New York City takes a little more than three hours.

Size: 3,274 square feet

Price per square foot: $351

Indoors: Steps lead from the front lawn to a covered porch, where a door opens to a foyer with floral-print wallpaper. Stairs with an original wood banister rise to the second level, and adjacent to the foyer is a parlor.

At the back of the foyer is the living room, with original millwork and tall windows facing the rear and side yards. Original hardwood floors continue into a dining room with its own floral-print wallpaper.

In the kitchen the floors are blue and white and the countertops are a mix of butcher block and stone. A pantry and a powder room are around the corner, and a back staircase also leads to the second floor. A laundry room and an enclosed porch are also off the kitchen.

A first-floor bedroom, with wide-plank floors off the foyer, is the primary suite, which is big enough for a king-size bed. A full bathroom is attached, and a parlor, directly off the foyer, could also serve as a bedroom.
