You can find spectacular examples of this in Cannes—like the Hôtel de Ville, completed between 1876 and 1877, as well as this gorgeous manor built just a few years later, in 1880.

It’s this type of lifestyle that sets the affluent, radiant Crystal Cove village apart from the rest of Newport Beach on the coast of California. Set among the hills and trees are unique, ultramodern works of architecture that co...

While it’s necessary to travel into town for business and leisure, the greatest privilege is the option to leave it behind at the end of the day’s responsibilities and escape to a country estate somewhere green, serene, and private. Picture a traditional English cottage garden, with all its bountiful, blossoming excesses. Now imagine it stretching as far as the...

To own a spacious property anywhere in the densely-packed boroughs of New York City is a feat; to own an authentic brownstone is a true New York achievement.
