Enjoy our monthly survey of incredible listings across the Corcoran network.
Highlights in this edition: Sensational villas in Houston and Puerto Rico, modernism on the bluffs in the Hamptons, a sprawling Connecticut estate with park-like grounds, and a North Carolina waterfront with a dock.
Connecticut
What’s Here: A graceful, light-filled Colonial in Midcountry Greenwich with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, sited on 1.16 park-like acres with rolling lawns and mature trees. With spacious living and dining rooms, along with two dens/home offices, it’s simultaneously an entertainer’s dream and a canvas for extravagant everyday living. The chef’s-kiss gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Wolf appliances, Palissandro marble, a Thermador coffee station, and a custom wet bar, not to mention a 425-bottle wine cellar. There’s also a hexagonal breakfast nook with windows on five sides, which opens to a family room with a fireplace and French doors outside. Upstairs, you’ll find all five bedrooms, including a primary suite that’s practically an apartment in and of itself — replete with a sitting room, office, and fireplace.
What We Love: The grounds are downright spectacular, with more than 3,000 feet of terrace and a long, heated saltwater pool running along the back of the house, as well as a pavilion with a sound system and an outdoor kitchen.

East End
What’s Here: 6,000 square feet of modernism on the North Haven peninsula, sited on 1.92 acres over the bluffs with private beach access. Designed by William J. Reese and the homeowners, and channeling the works of Rudolf Schindler and Tadao Ando, this striking residence is a place where simplicity and grandiosity feel synonymous with each other. Concrete, steel, glass, and mahogany converge with clean lines and a peaceful color palette. The interior allows for seamless movement between rooms, yet each one feels distinct and defined, like the light-dappled living room or the style-meets-substance kitchen. Follow a secluded staircase to the primary suite, which exudes solitude and features a water-facing deck, a separate living area, and a striking ensuite bath. Take further pleasure in a fully equipped home gym, a heated pool that seems to merge with the landscape, a boat mooring, and the community tennis court.
What We Love: Those endless views across Noyac Bay, reaching all the way to Shelter Island.

New York City
What’s Here: A four-story Fort Greene townhouse arranged as an owner’s triplex over a garden apartment — sporting a finished cellar to boot. Its open-concept parlor floor stuns, pairing white oak herringbone floors with 10-foot ceilings and a marble-mantled gas fireplace. The kitchen features top-notch appliances and opens via casement doors to a patio, which in turn leads down to a lovely landscaped garden. Five bedrooms occupy the triplex’s upper two levels, with the primary featuring a substantial walk-in closet and an ensuite with radiant-heated floors and a deep soaking tub. Down on the garden level, the one-bedroom apartment stands alone as either a guest space or an income-producing rental.
What’s We Love: Whether it’s the energy-efficient windows with custom treatments or the restored mahogany newel post at the base of the hardwood staircase, efforts to both modernize the c.1901 residence and preserve its original character have brought it roaring into the 2020s.

Virginia
What’s Here: Modern mountain living with an exceptional architectural pedigree. Newly completed, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath poem of a house was designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, famous for such landmarks as the Fifth Ave. Apple Store in New York City, Seattle’s City Hall, and Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell Center. Walls of glass beckon 270-degree views, capturing the ridgelines of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every direction, along with vistas of Virginia’s highest-altitude vineyard. Of course, to accommodate the many excellent local vintages available, the house boasts a temperature-controlled wine room, along with a terrace with a fireplace for year-round sipping. Furnishings by RH emphasize the home’s timeless sophistication.
What We Love: The terrace level has a studio apartment with its own bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests. Despite the house’s elevated and secluded position, it’s just an hour from Charlottesville and 40 minutes from Staunton or Lexington. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to access the Blue Ridge Parkway to all the beautiful natural sites nearby.

North Carolina
What’s Here: Captains and anglers, drop your anchors. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom waterfront has lots to love inside, but its nautical amenities are where it really shines: 100 feet of protected deep-water canal frontage with access to the Intracoastal Waterway, outfitted with a 20,000-pound boat lift for vessels up to 40 feet and a 10,000-pound, high-speed lift for 26-or-less-footers. The home also boasts a new 48-foot floating dock, crafted from Red Balau wood. At the house, there’s a dedicated fishing command center with smart organization for gear and tackle. Did we mention the marine-grade outdoor kitchen with a premium grill and a Kamado Joe smoker to cook up your catch?
What We Love: There’s a lower-level guest suite with its own kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and living area — perfect for hosting the whole crew. The coveted address also keeps you close to downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.

Northwest Florida
What’s Here: The epitome of relaxed waterfront living, this new construction five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom coastal retreat is being offered fully furnished — just bring your favorite swimsuit and you’ll be ready to enjoy your best life at Inlet Beach or in the heated pool with its hot tub and fountains. Throw on a casual coverup, bring out the cocktail shaker and toss some burgers on the outdoor grill, and dinner is ready to go. Of course there’s a gorgeous chef’s kitchen inside, done up in beachy hues of pale blue and white, as well as a separate wet bar in the living area, so it’s easy to mix up a round of drinks while watching the sea and the sky outside.
What We Love: Playful details like a four-bed bunk room, a window seat in a bedroom, beach-chic chandeliers, an outdoor shower, and a wood-paneled elevator make the house convenient and fun when welcoming friends and family for sleepovers and longer stays.

South Florida
What’s Here: Paradise nestled between two tranquil cul-de-sacs, and only a few minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, in Delray Beach. A courtyard entry points the way to the five-bedroom home’s interior, a self-contained universe of vast grace set beneath beamed ceilings. Openness pervades the main level’s central living and dining area, aided in no small part by floor-to-ceiling pocket glass doors, and the standout kitchen boasts plentiful space for all the prep and conversation a magnificent host needs. Covered loggias and a wraparound veranda create a sense of unlimited flow — you’ll find effortless egress throughout, even from the home office and the primary bedroom.
What We Love: The home’s exterior amenities are enough to make a jaw drop. They include a covered kitchen and dining room (adjoining the primary living space), a newly completed pool and spa, a built-in fire feature, and a personal putting green.

Puerto Rico
What’s Here: Casa Bajura, a dreamy retreat spanning two villas that mirror each other in layout and design — each comprising three bedroom suites. Both interplay landscape, light, and volume, resulting in an architectural delight that is playful and luxurious. The entrance to the villas is through a covered terrace, fitted out with a hammock and sculptural chairs, and immediately introduces the importance of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle to the residences. The first floor is home to an open floor plan with a kitchen and a multi-purpose area that can be transformed as desired, with jaunty bright yellow floor-to-ceiling folding doors that can delineate private spaces or be pushed open for an expansive feel. Upstairs, there are two bedroom suites, each graced with a small adjacent space that can be closed off with floor-to-ceiling glass folding doors, for reading or quiet contemplation.
What We Love: There’s a reflective pool between the two villas, and the property’s landscape has been planted with native and adapted species to create microclimates and attract biodiversity. Casa Bajura is currently operating as a boutique bed and breakfast, but it could be returned to a private residence or used as a mix of short-term rentals and private use.

Texas
What’s Here: They say everything is bigger in Texas and The Villa in Houston’s Boulevard Oaks Historic District lives up to the state’s unofficial motto. The house covers just over 8,600 square feet, with four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Closer to a palazzo than mere villa, the manor includes hand-painted frescoes on the ceilings and the walls in multiple rooms, including the dining room, a home office, a media room, and most dramatically, in the primary suite, where the bedroom and the en suite bathroom are both topped with an octagonal fresco that’s reminiscent of the Sistine Chapel. The house also features Italian stained-glass windows and a walk-in closet that’s larger than many studio apartments.
What We Love: Outside, there’s a vine-covered loggia supported with statues as columns, an undulating pool, and a three-tiered fountain. Located close to Rice University, the Museum District, and the best of Houston, this is a majestic home fit for Texas royalty.

Washington
What’s Here: This new construction six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence is located at the heart of Seattle’s Bryant neighborhood and walking distance to the University of Washington campus and the University Village shopping mall, as well as just a couple blocks away from the Burke-Gilman Trail, a 20-mile multi-use rail trail that runs all the way to Bothell. The house’s flexible layout makes it a winner for multi-generational or multi-faceted family living, with two laundry rooms and a second kitchen, and several flexible spaces. One of the kitchens is located in a rec room, which allows even casual gatherings like movie night or book club to gather with ice-cold drinks and hot snacks, without needing to hit pause.
What We Love: There’s a terraced front yard, as well as a small backyard next to the garage with an EV-charging outlet. The house also boasts an installed solar system, high-speed Ethernet wiring throughout, a built-in sound system, and a smart home security system.

Portugal
What’s Here: A contemporary take on a Portuguese villa in Birre, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Cascais, perfectly marries complete privacy with oversized windows in every room, allowing for unobstructed views and natural light wherever you go. The villa, with four bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, is spread across three floors. On the ground floor, there’s a double-height main lounge and dining space, as well as an open-plan kitchen, and one of the bedroom suites. Upstairs, you’ll find a more private space for the three other bedroom suites, all with access to a wraparound balcony and fabulous views. And then there’s a lower level of entertainment and relaxation amenities including a home gym, media room, and Turkish bath.
What We Love: Outside, there’s a saltwater swimming pool, a wooden deck, and a garden with space for seating areas throughout. The villa is just minutes from the center of Cascais and the train station or about half an hour from Lisbon and its airport.

Germany
What’s Here: A single-family house in the villa district of Falkenstein–Königstein, in the town of Königstein im Taunus, a part of the Frankfurt-Rhein-Main urban area, offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, spread over 280 square meters (approximately 3,000 square feet) of living space. Comfort, convenience, and style all come together in the home’s layout, with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area spanning two levels, and equipped with underfloor heating throughout, solar thermal installation, a fireplace with warm-air distribution, Sonos sound system, and an EV-charging station in the carport. The star of the house is the fitness area on the garden level, boasting an indoor swimming pool with a counter-current system, along with a a sauna.
What We Love: The grounds of the house are just as lovely as the interior, boasting a beautifully landscaped garden with a pond and multiple seating areas. There’s also a separate garden studio beneath the garage, which could be used as a guest suite, a private home office, or for an au pair.
