Stockton, N.J. | $800,000 A stone-and-clapboard house dating to 1796, with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, on a 0.66-acre lot

This house near the Delaware River, less than 10 minutes from Lambertville, N.J., and New Hope, Pa., once held a post office and general store. Today, it is a single-family residence with high ceilings, four working fireplaces and pumpkin-pine floors. It is across the road from the historic Prallsville Mills complex, a cultural center and event space, and yards from the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail, a towpath that runs for miles along the river. (The house is not in a flood plain.) A half-mile down the road is an organic farmers’ market, a food shop and French and Sicilian restaurants. New York City is about 65 miles northeast, and Philadelphia about 40 miles southwest.

Size: 3,296 square feet Price per square foot: $243 Indoors: The property has been renovated since 2000, with an updated kitchen and bathrooms, high-velocity central airconditioning and a wine-tasting room converted from a basement water cistern. Many of the rooms are freshly painted.

The main entrance is through the gardens at the back of the house. The foyer narrows into a hallway, with the kitchen past the staircase to the left. The kitchen has walls and cabinets of pine, counters of terrazzo and butcher block, a farmhouse sink and a Viking stove. It opens into a dining room with a fireplace.

The original front entrance takes you through ceiling-high double wood doors into the former post office and general store, now a living room. A fireplace has a delicately ornamented punched-wood mantel. A counter on which the date “1796” is carved remains from the time when it supported a cash register.

The main floor includes a study with a fireplace and built-in open shelving, and a powder room with bead-board paneling, an oval window and a pedestal sink.

Among the four second-floor bedrooms is an enormous master with a fireplace, a walk-in closet with organizers and an en suite bathroom with a bead-board wainscot and partitions, and a soaking tub with a shower head. A second full bathroom is on this floor.

Outdoor space: Several seating areas include a circular brick patio near the main entrance and a long brick patio with a pergola at the side of the house. The backyard has a gazebo, a shed and a former chicken house that is ripe for conversion into a studio, play space or home office. The two-car garage includes an unfinished upstairs space that has been plumbed.

Indoors: A covered front porch leads into a long, open dining room lined with windows deeply set into plaster walls. The flooring is Saltillo tile, and the coved ceiling is supported by vigas. A plaster fireplace with a stone-slab hearth occupies one corner.

Weathered-wood double doors open to a powder room with a granite-topped vanity. A double-door cabinet built into a wall near the staircase holds media equipment.

To the left of the front door is a new kitchen with granite-topped cabinetry, an apron sink and stainless steel appliances.

The bedrooms in the main house include a master with a balcony overlooking a pond and a bedroom with a sleeping platform set into a niche under a dormer with a built-in pine dresser. The bathroom on this floor has a coved ceiling and a glass-enclosed tub and shower faced in subway tile, with granite trim.

There is also a two-story, one-and-a-half-bath studio building dating to 1995 that is about the same size as the main house. It has a carved owl on the front door, two downstairs rooms with coved ceilings (one is carpeted and one has polished concrete floors) and two upstairs rooms with vaulted ceilings (one is carpeted and one has wood floors).

Outdoor space: The property has water rights to the acequia, or community watercourse, that runs through it, supporting a lush collection of fruit trees and shrubs and a vegetable garden.

Keith T. Turbitt Jr.

Cheyenne, Wyo. | $825,000 A solid-brick Arts-and-Crafts-style house built in 1920, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, on a 0.4-acre lot

Built by a contractor as his own residence, this house was recently restored, earning a 2019 award from the Cheyenne Historic Preservation Board for “exceptionally significant historic preservation efforts.� It is on a double lot two blocks from the Wyoming State Capitol complex, in the center of downtown. The Wyoming State Library is diagonally across the street, and the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens are a mile northwest. A regional airport is a mile and a half northeast.

Size: 5,248 square feet Price per square foot: $157 Indoors: Among the recent improvements are a nine-year-old period-style roof, a stabilized front porch, period-appropriate Pella replacement windows throughout much of the house, a new boiler system, refurbished radiators and upgraded, gas-burning fireplaces (there are four). The original garage was converted into a family room, and a new three-car garage was added.

A lemon-yellow foyer is flanked on one side by a living room with faux-finished tangerine walls and a marble-edged fireplace, and on the other by a midnight-blue formal dining room with vintage bow windows. The yellow sunroom off the living room is lined in casement windows with Arts-and-Crafts-patterned dividers. The new jade-green kitchen and adjoining butler’s pantry have pale wood cabinets and granite countertops. The appliances include a six-burner Wolf range with a double oven and commercialgrade venting system.

A similar jade is found in a bedroom off the sunroom. The en suite bathroom includes a shower lined in vein-patterned tile and enclosed by glass block.

The new family room (with buttercup walls) has built-in white cabinetry with open and closed compartments and a gas fireplace with a granite surround.

The largest of the three upstairs bedrooms has fuchsia walls and a walk-in closet big enough to be used as a play area. The quirkiest is royal blue and has a niche for a bed. There is also a bedroom painted in pale aqua. All three share a mint-green hall bathroom with a combined tub and shower.

A fifth bedroom and a bathroom with a walk-in shower are in the daylighted basement, along with a large family room with a fireplace, a sauna and a wine cellar.

Outdoor space: The home has a covered front porch that wraps around the side, with an outdoor patio that can be reached from the sunroom. The owners walled off the backyard with matching brick, added plantings and created a garden with a gravel seating area and a raised deck off the family room.
