HD 46588/Gliese 240.1

In Camelopardalis, this is an F8V star located 58.2 light years away.  It seems to be around the same age as our sun.  No info on metallicity that I could find.

ETA: Metallicity appears to be about 60% of Sol's.

HD 190360/Gliese 777


According to the Terrestrial Planet Finder project, this star in Cygnus is about 59 light years away, although other sources put it closer, at 51 light years.  Anyway, it is a G6V or IV star anywhere from 6 to 12 billion years old, with a metallicity 1.4 times higher than Sol’s.  It may have a red dwarf companion 3000 AU away, although other data suggest this smaller star is an unrelated one as far away as four light years.  The G star also has a couple of apparent gas-giant planets.  One is very close and the other is around 4 AU out, so there could be an Earthlike planet orbiting between them.
