New Enthusiasm for New York Townhouses

New York luxury real estate just reached a new all-time high with the sale of billionaire Vincent Viola's home at 12 East 69th Street, in contract for $80 million.

Rhode Island's Seafair Estate Sold for $13.5 Million

Meanwhile, across the country, the iconic Palm Springs house where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned immediately after their 1967 wedding in Las Vegas has hit the market for $5.9 million.

And continuing the old-meets-new trend, where we see a juxtaposition of classic elements with modern accents, the theatrical Chelsea loft of Phantom of the Opera star Gerard Butler, with its “modern vintage” flair, hit the market for $5,995,000.
