A richly appointed library with lots of bookshelves and places to relax with a book is natural for a Victorian, such as this Austerlitz residence. Surrounded by 21 acres of gardens, streams and a carriage house, the house is entered from a wraparound porch into double parlors and hardwood floors. Original marble fireplaces and hand-painted wallpaper give the five-bedroom home a welcoming feel. A professional, fully-equipped kitchen is an unexpected extra in the basement, so large that it has potential for catering events. Listed for $799,000 by Beach & Bartolo.
