Apartment Look

As beautiful as parts of Connecticut are, the state’s landscape will never be mistaken for the mountain ranges of northern New England. However, step onto the property at 2910 Mountain Rd. in Suffield and it’s easy to forget that. Built in 1981, the 6,178-square- foot house features a four-car garage, an in-law apartment, and a 28-by-40-foot barn with solar panels. The house has plenty of updated features, including new kitchen appliances, a new HVAC system, and new roofing. But it’s the nearly 30 acres of land in scenic West Suffield near the Massachusetts border that sets the property apart. Included in that acreage is a professionally landscaped yard with fruit trees, a perennial garden, an invisible fence, an outdoor patio and a gazebo. Situated on a hill overlooking Mountain Road , the front of the yard faces west and features scenic sunsets and views of distant hills. “It’s views of nature at its best,” says agent Sharon Dillon Rispoli of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices .

Location: London Price: £3.95 million (US$4.5 million) The exclusive cobblestone courtyard known as Turnchapel Mews sits between Clapham Common and Battersea Park in south London. In the mid-19 th  century, the now private and gated mews served as horse stables for the main houses on the surrounding streets.  A charming and quite large apartment there, the five-bedroom No. 8 Turnchapel Mews , occupies the top floor of four terraced mews houses and has a large outdoor terrace (most of the apartment is on one floor, but a small part is on a separate floor). In the 1980s, the acclaimed author Roald Dahl lived just downstairs, according to the listing agents. “From the outside it’s hard to envisage the space within,” said Jake Russell, a director at the London firm of Russell Simpson . “H owever, as soon as you step inside, it opens up into this wonderful, open environment.” “Often, mews houses have smaller proportions than a normal house, with lower ceilings and tighter rooms, bu...

This loft-like Williamsburg condo offers 12 -foot ceilings and a corner berth that makes for striking views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline. It’s at 60 Broadway on the eighth floor of the Gretsch Building, a former musical instrument factory that was converted in 2005. The place is pretty fab on its own, but there’s also an intriguing opportunity here for the buyer who’s deep-pocketed enough to pull it off (and that’s extremely deep-pocketed). An adjoining corner unit is also for sale, allowing for the option of buying both and combining them, making for over 4,000 square feet of space and a panoramic view that’d be pretty exceptional. As it stands, this one’s got three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with a master bedroom that offers a walk-in closet, an en suite white marble bath and the same west-facing vista as the living room. The kitchen is open plan, as one would expect, with powder blue cabinetry , granite countertops, a spacious island, a Wolf range and a SubZero fridg...
