The Skinny: Colonial reds and blues, oak millwork and wainscoting, and hideous floral wallpaper create the perfect stage for your childhood fantasies of living a life like the Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie. It's a 5-BR in a prime location that features a renovated kitchen to bring it into the 21st century. And don't worry! Even though "Center" is spelled "Centre," it isn't undue snobbery; there are 4.5 bathrooms! No more trips to the outhouse, but now to find a new use for the mudroom. — Ian Lazzara
