Red Gable, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's estate of the day is classic 1880s New England home that has been lovingly remodeled into a modern beach home. This home in Gloucester, Massachusetts has a fantastic perch of approximately half an acre on Coffin Beach between Ipswich Bay and Essex Bay at the northwestern tip of Cape Ann. This is some of the prettiest shoreline that the North Shore has to offer. The home itself is approached down a private road.

While the exterior maintains its venerable facade inside we are looking at granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, newer floors and decking. There are five bedrooms including one tucked into the turret of the house. There are ocean views from almost every room offering sweeping vista over dunes and the white sandy beach. This home is listed at $4.1 million.

The New York Times periodically picks a price and then does a "What You Get for ... $xxx,xxx" piece in its Real Estate section, comparing homes in three cities. I've never seen a "What You Get for ... $35,000,000," article so here it is, at least in one city: This estate in Montauk (no direct link, so go here, and enter Web ID H34007) is set on 35.5 acres between the Atlantic Ocean, a freshwater pond and fields and meadows, with 400 feet of ocean frontage. The house is 7,000 square feet and has a tiled roof, plus there's 50% more living space than the house itself, thanks to the 3,500 square feet of mahogany decking. Built in 1994, there are three levels, comprising five bedrooms, five baths, living and dining rooms with 16-foot ceilings and walls of glass that overlook the ocean and grounds. For cooking (or, more likely, where your staff will be doing the cooking), there's a chef's kitchen. Also: a breakfast room, an office, a screening room with a state-of-the-art JBL system, and a garage. A path leads through private gates to the beach.

Ocean Road, Estate of the Day

Today's estate on John's Island on the Treasure Coast in Florida is a rather grand home which has been adapted to family life with a cottage-cozy decor that doesn't quite match the bones of the house. The oceanfront home has a rather formal entrance with a columned facade and a 75-foot lap pool. The home's balconies and lower terrace areas are accessible from all the main rooms tempting one to open the windows or wander outdoors. The main floor includes the gourmet island kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, stately office, and study. The master suite and guest bedrooms have ocean views. The second floor is also home to a large stair landing with couches and a busy mural. The home has a boardwalk over the dune to the beach. Other features include a lower level game room, elevator, pool bathroom, two half-baths, storage rooms, and an A/C 3-car garage. The home is listed at $9.25 million.
