5 Cottages For Sale Across the Country

When I was a kid, I dreamed of living in a mansion. So, of course, I was sick with envy when a family in my town won the McDonald's Monopoly million-dollar home. (Until then, I was convinced the whole Monopoly thing was a sham.) But then, as I got older—and realized a big house would have to be cleaned, most likely by me—the sprawling McMansions lost their appeal. 

        Now, I'd much rather have a smaller home with lots of character, decorated exactly the way I like it. Thus my obsession with cottages. These adorable abodes, all of which are currently on the market, are not only stunning on the outside—they also have well-appointed, graceful interiors. And it's what's on the inside that really matters, right?
