Cambridge, N.Y. | $378,000

A Carpenter Gothic house built in 1843, on 0.4 acres

This three-bedroom, two-bath house has retained much of its 19th-century charm, including the intricately carved gingerbread trim that accents the facade, a classic element of Carpenter Gothic-style architecture.

The small town of Cambridge, N.Y., in Washington County, is home to a diner and a brewery, both of which are within a mile of the property. Mount Tom State Forest, a popular spot for hiking and camping, is a 15-minute drive. Albany is an hour’s drive southwest, and Great Barrington, Mass., in the Berkshires, is 90 minutes south. New York City and Montreal are around three and a half hours away in opposite directions.

Size: 2,467 square feet

Price per square foot: $153

Indoors: The home has two entrances: the front door, at the end of a short path extending from the street, and a side entrance, where doors open to an enclosed porch with checkerboard tile floors.

Through this space is the updated kitchen, which has a range with a gas cooktop and a breakfast bar with two stools. It is open to the family room, where a rough-hewed beam runs across the ceiling and double doors open to the deck outside. On the other side of the kitchen is a butler’s pantry that connects to the formal dining room, which has a chandelier hanging from an original ceiling medallion.

Hardwood floors continue from the dining room to the front of the house, where the formal living room has built-in bookshelves and a staircase dividing the room from what was once the parlor and now serves as the primary bedroom. The walls are painted light blue, and the adjacent primary bathroom has an oversize walk-in shower.

The second floor holds two spacious bedrooms, one painted yellow and one painted pale pink. Also on this level is a library with angled ceilings and wide-plank floors, as well as a bathroom with a tub and a porcelain pedestal sink.
