Sustainably Stunning in Taos

Sustainably stunning? Is that super lame? I can’t tell – that’s what the Internet does. It turns your brain to mush! What I know ISN’T lame is this tricked out sustainable house in Taos, NM. (Disclaimer: I was born and raised in New Mexico so I have inside information about how awesome it is.) The (more&hellip)

A Man, A Rock, and the Sea

We humans seem to have an unstoppable drive to explore, conquer, and dominate…especially when it comes to real estate. From elaborate treehouses built high above the ground, to rural country cottages far from civilization, we practically dare Mother Nature to try to contain us. This is not a new phenomenon. Back in the early 1900s, (more&hellip)

Live Like a Saint in Seattle’s Sanctuary

Living in a church is all the rage these days, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to see a townhouse development within a massive church in Seattle’s hip Capitol Hill neighborhood. The townhouses started selling a year ago, and I believe most are sold, since I can’t seem to find MLS listings anywhere online. The (more&hellip)

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Obscenely Nice Downtown Digs

I don’t do a lot of celebrity real estate coverage, but there are a couple celebs like Nicholas Cage (a walking real estaster!) and Gwyneth Paltrow that are just so ostentatious I can’t help myself. You may recall my recent coverage of Gwyneth Paltrow’s “humble” Nashville apartment renovation. Needless to say, it was far from (more&hellip)

Warehouse Nouveau: Life in an Old Factory Looking Good

It’s not that I wasn’t aware of this San Francisco neighborhood. People just don’t really talk much about it. I guess it used to be sketchy, and it’s still full of warehouses and empty streets, which turns off some people. And we only looked at one horribly depressing condo back during our house-hunting binge, so (more&hellip)

Hidden Real Estate Gems: Charlotte, NC

I realize that my coverage here on Real Savvy tends to skew coastal and urban. That just happens to be where I spend most of my time. But there’s a whole big world out there I’m missing, so I’ve resolved to make an effort to seek out the hidden gems across America: places with a (more&hellip)

Gwyneth Paltrow Goes “Thrifty”

I subscribe to Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP newsletter for two reasons: entertainment value (the lady is seriously out of touch with regular folk) and recommendations (she still comes through with some awesome recipes/ideas from time to time). Last week’s issue sort of hit both categories. She dedicated the entire newsletter to an apartment renovation done for (more&hellip)

NoHo Loft: Care to Take the Stairs to the Tub?

I barely need to say anything. Just look at this: Once you see something like, this, it’s kind of “game over,” right? How can you ever love again after witnessing such splendor? This stunning bathroom belongs to a swank “NoHo” (read: recently a bad neighborhood that realtors are trying to rebrand) loft in Manhattan. This (more&hellip)

Wine Country Style – Heaven to be Had

This spring, some friends and I drove up north to Sonoma County for their annual wine barrel tasting event. The idea is that you get the chance to taste the wines while they’re still in the barrels, before they’re bottled 12-18 months hence. My friends and I weren’t in it for the barrel tasting (let (more&hellip)

Foreign Real Estate Love Affair in Buenos Aires

You know what? I don’t care. I’m moving to Buenos Aires. I love it there so hard it’s insane. I’ve been twice for extended periods (once when it was expensive, once when it was pretty cheap). Yes, the economy is unstable…but it’s earthy, European, literary, cultured, passionate, beautiful, and the steak and wine are unbelievable. (more&hellip)
