With so many houses for sale, often it’s the little details – features unique to a particular property – that become the reasons house hunters choose one house over another.

In Westwood, for example, a historic Victorian house is appropriate for a professional who would like to set up an office in his or her home. Zoned both residential and commercial, the house is a nice fit for a professional home and office. The driveway has room for four cars, and there’s also metered parking on the street. The house also contains a separate entrance for potential clients to enter.

In New Milford, a house is suitable for those who enjoy entertaining. There is an inground pool that has a solar cover to heat the pool, and inside, the basement has a sound-proof ceiling – suitable for either a musician to practice on his or her instruments, or for parties.

This weekend’s search for a home may also include new construction communities featuring new models and buyer incentives.

Call Realtors to confirm the open houses you are interested in seeing.
