The House
Built in: 2011. Size: 4,250 sq. ft. "Even though we built our house, it is in a historical neighborhood, so we wanted it to match in. We love all its cottage-y touches, like the window boxes, the brick path as well as also the cutouts on the walls," state homeowners Chris and Colleen Austin.
Portico
Surprise! The ceiling of the portico is finished with tongue-and-groove boards painted to match the shutters and the door.

Constructed in: 1935; Bought in: 2009; Size: 3,100 sq. ft. "We dreaded the notion of purchasing a home that needed a full renovation, and this one was in bad shape. But we were mesmerized by its old-fashioned slate roof and the oversize window and we can see the property's possible, even if it would take lots of work," state homeowners Chris and Bethann Williams.
Planters
In 2011, the Williamses replaced the cracked slate shingles with new ones, which have grown a patina that feels in sync with all the 82-year-old residence.
