Gliese 876
This feeble red dwarf boasts 3 known planets, one of them only 7 times the mass of Earth. Gliese 876 is an ancient system at 8.2 billion years old and a moderately metal rich star, but it is a cold and brutal system. There is a chance for a habitable, Earth-like world, but the odds are against it.
