Bethel Open Houses This Weekend: A 1750 Antique With A Maker's Barn And Three More To Tour Sept. 26-27

BETHEL, CT — Bethel's open houses this weekend come with room to create. The headliner is a renovated 1750 antique on Codfish Hill Road with a soaring post-and-beam barn and a second workshop over the garage. The listing pitches that space for woodworking, crafts or an art studio. The rest of the lineup ranges from a 1907 Colonial that hasn't been on the market in 33 years to a detached condo that's only four months old.

Four Bethel homes are holding open houses Sept. 26 and 27, with prices from $500,000 to $850,000, according to Zillow.com.
