House Lust: A Pink Victorian on a Winding Country Road with Tons of Space
The Queen Anne-style house was built with family life in mind (and, bonus: central air).

Original Victorians are great. Love ’em. I want to buy all of ’em. Except in summer, when just about anything with AC anything! beats out big bay windows and ornate balustrades. No contest.
That’s where this pink Victorian reproduction, in the woods of nearby Thompson, Connecticut, shines. Built in 1990 and designed by the homeowners, it offers the romance of the American Queen Anne alongside the trappings of modern life, including central air. (In the cooler months, a pellet stove adds extra warmth. Imagine cozying up by the fire with the kids after a night of trick or treating; I can see it too.)
