In this week's Under Contract, we highlight two homes that hadn't been on the market in decades and were snatched up by buyers in just a few days.

Upstairs, a generous primary bedroom anchors two additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the finished lower level adds a family room, fourth bedroom, full bath, and laundry.
