Shelter Island, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Newsday's Real LI led me to this summer retreat in Shelter Island, New York. This home sits on 3.6 acres and has six bedrooms. It has a great room, dining room, two wood burning fireplaces, elevator, central air conditioning, and a two-car garage. The interior is in need of major brightening up and updating but the grounds are phenomenal. The property includes a freshwater pond, tennis court and a long dock into the sound. A variety of terraces offer views and much needed shade on a hot day. It is listed at $4.9 million.

Tiffany Cottage, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


I love the classic summer homes of New England. The Tiffany Cottage in Isleboro, Maine is one of those grand summer cottages that were built in the early 1900s when people would settle in for a few months by the shore. This Dark Harbor estate was built in 1912 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The shingled home with white shutters sits on a 4.8-acre parcel of land with approximately 700 feet of shorefront and a sheltered dock. A porch faces the water and offers summer shade and the home is surrounded by perennial beds and lawns. There aren't too many interior listing pics but they reveal wood floors, brick fireplaces and wide windows opening to the outside. This home is listed at $4.75 million.

The Vacation Homes of the Stars

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping


Very few celebrities have only one home -- owning multiple residences in locations around the world is key to keeping any sense of normalcy and routine in their lives. But although first homes are usually in cities like New York and LA to be close to work, where do celebrities like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Oprah choose to buy vacation homes? Where do they go when it's entirely up to them and they want to relax?

Well for Clooney it's a waterfront villa in Lake Como, Italy, for Depp it's a 50 acre farmhouse in France, and Oprah prefers her ocean-front ranch in Santa Monica. Where would you live? Check out this list of celebrity summer homes and see who's taste is closest to your own.
