Built in: 1940. Bought in: 1996. Size: 3,000 sq. ft. "Only two families owned this house before us, and its charm is still very much intact," says homeowner Teresa Wood. "The traditional red-brick facade and spacious front porch remind my husband, Joe, of his childhood home." By extending the walkway into a brick parking pad, the Woods created space for cars without compromising the house’s character.
