Westport, CT – $6.499 Million
9 Bed, 10 Bath, 7355 square feet on 3 acres. Thought you guys and gals would get a kick out of this (and not necessarily the fun kind of kick but the kind when you stub your toe against the wall.)

1212 Quinnipiac Ave, New Haven, CT – $489,000
7 Bed, 3 Bath, 4179 square feet. A house with its very own gargoyles! Awesome! Although the interior is bland, I think someone with the right skills could tune her up. The street view.
