A circa 1856 farmhouse, on 0.2 acres

This four-bedroom, three-bathroom house, most recently used as a short-term rental property, is in the center of Fayetteville and within walking distance of a diner, a convenience store and a handful of antiques stores. Round Top, home of an antiques fair that draws big crowds, is 20 minutes away by car, as is Kreische Brewery State Historic Site.

Texas A&M University, in College Station, is a 90-minute drive, as is Austin. Houston takes less than two hours.

Off one side of the kitchen is a dining room with wood-paneled walls painted white, and off the back of the kitchen is the primary suite. The bedroom holds a king-size bed and the bathroom has floral-print wallpaper and a walk-in shower.

Another bedroom is off the living room, and off the main hallway is a bathroom with a green claw foot soaking tub. Stairs lead from the back of the hall to the second floor, where two more bedrooms each can fit two double beds. A bathroom on this floor has a wood vanity and a walk-in shower with goldtone hardware.

Outdoor space: The back patio has a fire pit with space for chairs around it, and across the backyard is a detached two-car garage that has a second floor apartment with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

A Spanish-style house built in 1928, on 0.7 acres

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, surrounded by mature fir and cedar trees, is a few blocks from an expansive city park with botanical gardens, a disc golf course and playing fields for soccer and baseball. A public elementary school is within walking distance and several grocery stores are within a five-minute drive.

Getting to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport takes less than 10 minutes by car and downtown Seattle takes 30 minutes.

Indoors: The house is set back from the street, and at the end of a driveway is a garage and a stone path leading to an elevated porch. A glass-paneled door opens directly to the living room, where a fireplace has its original brick surround, and hardwood floors continue into a dining room that has access to a covered side porch.

Behind the dining room is the kitchen, where there are new soft-close cabinets and an original white enamel Monarch gas range. A corridor links this part of the house to the primary bedroom, which has windows along two walls. Next door is this level’s bathroom, with a combined tub and shower and a tile floor with a Greek key pattern.

Another bedroom and a space used as an office are off the kitchen, as are steps that lead down to the lower level den, which has its own fireplace. A bedroom that holds a queen-size bed and a full bathroom are also on this level, as is a second kitchen.
