I like to think of myself as a professional house-peeper, with leaf-peeping as a side hobby. This time of year always makes me wish I lived way up in New England, where the fall colors are shimmering brightly and the old houses are dazzling. To prove that you don’t need to be a millionaire to own a beautiful, old house in my favorite part of the country, I tracked down 7 gorgeous historical homes in New England that are for sale for under $100,000 and are MOVE-IN READY.
