The suburban town on Winchester, Massachusetts is home to a variety of older grand homes. This home, with an English country manor look, was built in the 1930s. It has six bedrooms and sits on two acres that include formal gardens. You’re going to need your Murphy’s Oil soap for this one because there is beautiful woodwork everywhere. Large leaded glass windows keep it from being too gloomy. While the merits of a room covered in toile continue to elude me, the bedrooms do exude a posh coziness. And if ever there was a home that made good and ample use of Oriental rugs, this is it. it is listed at $4.6 million.

The coast of Oregon is often overlooked when it comes to seaside homes. Sure, it’s chilly and you’ll face your fair share of winter storms, but the land here is beautiful and the air is clean. Today’s home was built in the early 1990s and has eight bedrooms and over 10,000 square feet on a 45-acre plot of land that includes a horse barn and a separate apartment area. It definitely seems to be a home built to the owner’s taste and specifications but it does make good use of the ocean views and it has a casual charm. But the finishes seem a bit too generic for me. I’ve never quite understood why someone would create in a multimillion dollar home and then skimp on the interior. This place could use more furniture, and some upgrades in order to help it reach its full potential. But that office perched on top of a tower for the best possible ocean views, is a stunner. It is listed at $5.9 million.

Today’s home is another of Rhode Island’s famous summer cottages. The J.B. Lippincott House in Jamestown, Rhode Island was originally known as Meeresblick and was built in1892-93 for J.B. Lippincott, son of the founder and later president of the J.B. Lippincott Co. publishing firm. After Lippincott’s death in 1940 the house went to his daughter and her descendants still own the home. The shingled home sits on a waterfront parcel on Mackerel Cove and has charming fieldstone details. Inside the allure comes from the original woodwork, and beautiful glass windows and brick fireplaces. Unfortunately we don’t get any of the all-important kitchen and bathroom shots with this listing so some updates may be necessary. it is listed at $4.9 million.
