Exposed wood beams and wide-plank pine floors inside; outside, a fenced flagstone garden with the fire pit going and dinner at the patio table. Park both cars on the private parking pad, which in Old Town is rare, then walk to coffee at LaPluma in 4 minutes.

The whole house is yours: 2 levels, 3 bedrooms (2 kings, 1 full), 2.5 baths, private parking pad for 2 vehicles, fenced garden patio. Built in 1872, so it has the steeper stairs and gently sloping floors of a real historic Old Town house.

WHO IT SUITS
