With several pitched roofs, a chimney, and a sweet coral facade, this circa-1886 carriage house is a quintessential New England charmer. Inside, the 3,123-square-foot space gets a bit more surprising, starting with a custom wooden staircase under 27-foot-high ceilings.

On the ground floor, the completely renovated house offers an airy contemporary open plan layout surrounded by walls of windows. Though there are plenty of modern accoutrements like a large kitchen island, recessed lighting, and built-in bar in the living room, you can still get a bit of historic flavor, thanks to a brick fireplace and original posts and beams.

Upstairs, a catwalk-like path leads to an on-trend barn door, which opens up to a remodeled master suite. The rest of the upper level contains two more bedrooms and another full bath. Last sold for $739,000 in 2014, the home is now asking $1.2 million after recent updates.
