This structure was originally a barn on a Canaan farm before being converted into a house in 1976. The period post-and-beam construction offers spacious and sunny living spaces and wide plank floors. Newer improvements include a metal roof, well pump and water heater, and utility shed. The house has one bedroom and two bathrooms and sits on more than 11 acres of gardening or farming potential. Listed for $220,000 by Beach & Bartolo.

Dane’s dining room and parlor are both filled with second-hand treasures. Her Art Deco dining set has been central to multiple iterations of her home. “I’ve had this table since 1990,” says Dane. “This table has seen many a meal, many a poker game, and lots of production work.” The starburst chandelier came from a second-hand office supply store in Austin. “I bought four for $100,” she says.
