Looking for a dream home? This week’s real estate spotlight shines on two gorgeous properties: a spacious six-bedroom house in Muttontown, New York, and a charming four-bedroom renovated cottage in Princeton, New Jersey. Let’s dive in!

First up is the Muttontown, N.Y., home, listed at $2.5 million. Built in 1980, this contemporary gem sits on just over 2 acres and boasts six bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Highlights include a grand foyer, a two-story living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a den with a built-in bar (and yes, a fish tank!). The eat-in kitchen opens to a rear deck, perfect for summer barbecues. Outside, you’ll find a heated pool and a large patio. The catch? One bedroom has been turned into a walk-in closet, and some furniture is built-in, which might not suit everyone’s taste.

Next, we head to Princeton, N.J., where a fully renovated 1928 stone cottage is on the market for $2.195 million. This 3,351-square-foot beauty features four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and a guest cottage. The renovations blend old-world charm with modern luxuries, like a marble-lined primary bathroom and a sunlit sunroom. The property spans 5.62 wooded acres, offering plenty of privacy. However, the narrow staircases in both the main house and guest cottage might be a dealbreaker for some.

Both homes come with their pros and cons, but one thing’s for sure: they’re perfect for buyers seeking luxury and character. Act fast—these properties might not stay on the market for long!
