Dream Towns: Newport, Rhode Island

September 30, 2015 Peter Taylor Leave a comment — Posted in: Dream Towns, Food & Wine, History, Preservation, Real Estate, Travel

Real estate and travel are eternally intertwined especially where historic properties are involved. So it’s only logical that our newest column, Dream Towns, is a combination of both. When I lived in Key West, every tourist was envious. Why not live where everyone else vacations? At least three of those people I met 20 years ago have second homes in the Conch Republic now. In Dream Towns we’ll be bringing to you the most historic, eclectic, off-the grid, off-the-charts, culturally-rich, historically-significant, and inspiringly revitalized towns across America where you can happily spend a weekend or the rest of your life. First up—Newport, Rhode Island

Detroit, Michigan was once one of the wealthiest cities in the United States and like many things in life that are on the top, they are prone to falling. Luckily, the fall has an upside and that is the potential for a rebirth and that’s exactly what is happening in Detroit as we speak with investors, tech start-ups and entrepreneurs moving to the city and the surrounding suburbs. The real estate market is still flush with iconic estates that are deeply rooted in American industry and compared to other large cities in the country––the prices are compelling to say the least.

Historic preservation is a religion for many people. It takes on especially biblical proportions in the practical sense when the building being resurrected back to its former glory is one of God’s original historic houses. We got the tip on this extraordinary restoration in Williamsburg from 6sqft, which converted an iconic neighborhood church into uber-chic loft apartments with all of the modern amenities. Our favorite amenity: you don’t even have to leave your living room on Sunday morning to go to church.

When someone first mentioned ‘Steampunk’ to the FEH editors a month ago someone among us wondered aloud whether it was a new Seattle grunge band pioneer. Little did we know that it’s one of the most unique and difficult to execute historic design styles that incorporates classic Victorian architecture, functional chic design, and reclaimed and re-used artifacts that re-imagine the former Industrial heyday of the US. FEH recently caught up with the owners of ModVic, the leading Steampunk design pioneers, whose house is being marketed on Find Everything Historic. Prepare to be ‘punked.

When most people think about real estate these days one of two questions tend to come to mind first: Is this is a good place to invest and how good are the schools? We still look at real estate, and in particular historic properties, as a far more important lifestyle decision. Where you live plays a large role in the life you live. There is actually very little in common between Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Whitefish Montana. So here are our Top FIve historic properties for sale that truly epitomize a classic lifestyle. Now the hardest part is having to choose. Private island? Tribeca loft? Or a southern plantation?
