Tell me all about it: So many trinity homes look dated enough that you can imagine William Penn actually sleeping there. We love that this somehow-two-bedroom home manages to combine the usual cozy elements of the trinity with sleeker and more modern looks in the bathroom and kitchen. Bonus: one bedroom includes a working fireplace and skylight and the basement hides a full-sized washer and dryer.

Tell me all about it: This two-bedroom trinity manages to pack a lot into its relatively small footprint. We love the bright, eat-in kitchen and the modern bathroom upstairs. The home even includes a lovely rear deck and two working fireplaces.
