Corcoran’s A-List: June 2025
Just north of San Francisco, this reimagined classic in the Marin County town of Kentfield turns heads at every turn.
Enjoy our monthly survey of incredible listings across the Corcoran network.
Highlights in this edition: Prewar elegance reimagined on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, an Italianate jewel along the coast of North Carolina, a mid-century modern delight in Portland, Oregon, and elevated living in Hawaii with picture frame views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline.
Martha’s Vineyard
What’s Here: Blue Heron Farm, encompassing 30 acres along the shores of Tisbury Great Pond. A thorough embodiment of the Vineyard lifestyle, this centerfold-perfect coastal compound was also the summer sojourn of America’s 44th President and his family. Whatever you’re looking for in a quiet luxury retreat, you’ll almost certainly find it here. The property, sequestered by farm fields and lush woodlands, is revealed by a long, gated drive for serious privacy. Topping the lengthy list of amenities is a private beach, a dock, and a boat house. A guest house and design studio expand the available square footage, and there’s a gym, pool, and tennis court to stay active. Ample garaging stands ready to keep your rubber-tired fleet high and dry. Did we mention the equestrian facilities?
What We Love: The Norman Foster-designed pool house and the 150-year-old barn relocated from Pennsylvania.

Connecticut
What’s Here: A glorious 5,200 square feet of 20th century Colonial Revival elegance on four acres of back country Greenwich, located just minutes over the state line within easy reach of the Avenue and nearby Armonk and Purchase, New York. This five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath charmer was recently renovated by Lighthouse Architects, and it comes with plans to expand it even further. The scale here is grand, with generously sized living spaces and a large primary suite with a fireplace, private boudoir, and mahogany vaulted ceiling.
What We Love: Calming views over the pool, Laub Pond, and the rolling landscape synonymous with back country living.

East End
What’s Here: Style and substance coalesce into a compelling package: this freshly built, six-bedroom Hamptons home. Natural light fills the interior’s centerpiece, an open-plan great room with 15-foot-high ceilings — enough square footage for multiple dining tables, and a seriously sleek chef’s kitchen. Towering glass walls lead the way to a covered outdoor deck. This seamless expansion of the great room is striking to behold beneath vaulted ceilings, appearing as if a wall were sliced off the home to unveil it. Step down to an enchanting pool area, surrounded by a lounge-worthy patio, an outdoor kitchen, and verdant landscaping.
What We Love: The home is an enclave on the North Haven peninsula, but is well within arm’s reach of greater adventure. Take the bridge southeast to bustling downtown Sag Harbor, the causeway southwest to beloved Long Beach on Noyack Bay, or the ferry north to wondrous Shelter Island.

Manhattan
What’s Here: If you’re living in NYC, open vistas of Central Park are a treasure. In that case, X marks the spot for this prewar Fifth Avenue condo, designed by Emery Roth, which puts views over the city’s signature greenspace front and center — both in the sprawling great room and the sanctuary-like primary bedroom. The home brings together the timeless and the now, flaunting a bold yet understated feel. A full revamp has given the three-bedroom space new herringbone hardwood floors, custom stone kitchen tiles, luxe Waterworks baths, and more, while retaining the masterful proportions and flow that make residences such as this one a special find.
What We Love: Central Park isn’t just for staring wistfully through this home’s near-dozen voluminous windows. You’re right across Museum Mile from the park’s E. 102 Street entrance, making the East Meadow and Conservatory Garden your de facto backyard and gateways to further exploration.

Hudson Valley
What’s Here: A c.1903 Jacobean showpiece surrounded by 17 acres and panoramic river views (not to mention an impressive 1,400 linear feet of frontage). The grand three-level, 29-room residence delivers an approachable balance of refreshing modernity and the timeless elegance you’d expect to find at a classic Hudson River estate. Elsewhere on the grounds, a log cabin–style guest cottage overlooks a sparkling pond with full-height windows and a patio over the water. There’s also a sizable garage that once served as a helicopter hangar, and uniquely, a renovated office building with a separate driveway and parking. Adjacent conservation lands ensure the home’s sweeping vistas won’t vanish.
What We Love: The “winter garden,” a glassed-in space with a custom fully vented grill that lets the outside in through all the seasons, and the imported Bavarian pub set up in the home’s lower level rec room.

North Carolina
What’s Here: Period elegance in the heart of one of coastal North Carolina’s most storied port cities. Built in 1849, the Jones-Mitchell house was renovated into the Italianate Revival style in 1870, during which time it was owned by grain merchant Benjamin F. Mitchell and his wife, Sarah. Today, it’s one of the jewels of Wilmington’s Historic District, flanked by mature trees and azaleas along a desirable red brick-paved, one-way street. A picture-perfect front porch reveals nearly 4,000 square feet of elegant interior space, which includes four bedrooms — two are en suite — along with gracious living areas like a light-filled front parlor, a lovingly appointed kitchen, and a den with porch access and a fireplace, perfect for relaxed concentration.
What We Love: The elevator serving all floors, along with the 150-year-old magnolia in the enchanting backyard.

South Florida
What’s Here: All the glories of vacationing at a five-star hotel without ever needing to leave, this two-story Miami Beach villa within the Ritz-Carlton Residences is a personal tropical resort. From a lavish swimming pool to a spa-like outdoor bath to plentiful space for lounging and getting away from it all, the home has about all you could ask for. And yet, there is a simplicity coursing through this grandly sleek Piero Lissoni design. At the end of the sun-soaked day, this villa has what every great South Florida home should: voluminous natural light — thank you, floor-to-ceiling glass walls — and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
What We Love: Miami Beach is as much a lifestyle as a place. On those occasions, the Ritz-Carlton covers residents with a showstopping Ritz-Carlton amenities package encompassing everything from the personally curated (on-site spa or personal chef services, pet care, tee time reservations, etc.) to showstopping hotel features like a landscaped rooftop pool deck complete with cabanas and day beds.

Colorado
What’s Here: An expansive three-bedroom townhouse in Cherry Creek is spread out over three floors and 5,747 square feet. The ground level is devoted to shared public spaces, with a layout that flows smoothly from one generously sized room to the next, and includes a formal living room and dining room, a family room, and a gourmet kitchen with two dishwashers. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite has its own fireplace, a covered patio, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a steam shower.
What We Love: There are several flexible spaces that can be configured to best meet your needs, including a useful mud room between the kitchen and garage; a home office complete with built-in cabinets, a desk, and an ornate fireplace; a home gym, and a wine cellar with storage for 600+ bottles

Oregon
What’s Here: A beautiful four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Southwest Portland, built in 1953, exemplifies the type of graceful mid-century West Coast residences found in Healy Heights, with glass walls and sliding doors visually erasing the line between the indoors and the outdoors. The primary suite has deck access, a work area, a workout space, and a en suite bathroom with a rain shower and a soaking tub, all next with city and mountain views. There’s no need to worry about bathroom envy though, as there’s a second bathroom shared by two other bedrooms that also has a rain shower and soaking tub.
What We Love: The half-acre of gardens surrounding the house are lush and typical of the homes in Healy Heights, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Portland. Developer Joseph Healy created the neighborhood in 1911, sketching out his plan for houses with open floor plans and walls of windows that would be set on large lots. The resulting enclave feels secluded, gorgeous, and truly special.

Northern California
What’s Here: A spectacular four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in Kentfield’s Del Mesa neighborhood, in Marin County, was originally built in 1920, but completely rebuilt in 2013, offering a contemporary take on California style. The dramatic great room has soaring ceilings and a wall of windows, architectural features that are repeated in the primary bedroom, which also boasts a private deck and spa-style bathroom. The result is a house flooded with natural light that feels bright and airy, wherever you go.
What We Love: The family room really embodies the house’s indoor-outdoor living style, with heated concrete floors, a roll-up glass door, and two skylights, all of which leads directly to the backyard with its pretty landscaping and space for an outdoor grill.

Hawaii
What’s Here: It’s all about the views in this corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo perched up high above the ironwood trees in Kapiolani Park, on the famed Gold Coast of Honolulu. There are three private lanais with sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, and the Waikiki skyline. The living room and the three bedrooms have sliding glass doors that fully open to the lanais (with the living room boasting glass doors on two opposite side), making the entire unit feel like a nest perched in between the sky and the sea.
What We Love: The unit was completely remodeled and now boasts marble slabs in the bathroom, walnut cabinetry, and nine-foot ceilings, and all the modern conveniences to make this an entertainer’s hub: a wet bar, a Lutron smart system for controlling lighting and shades, and a Sonos sound system. Plus, the building includes underground parking and a heated saltwater pool.

Cayman Islands
What’s Here: Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman’s most famous stretch of sand, is just steps away from this three-bedroom, three-bathroom corner unit in the Caribbean Club. Unit 201 has an open-concept layout, with a private beachfront balcony, and a spacious combined living area and kitchen. The primary suite has ocean-facing views, balcony access, a spa-style bathroom, and a generous walk-in closet. This is the ideal getaway, whether it’s just for you or to be used as an income-generating vacation rental.
What We Love: Since the Caribbean Club is also a resort hotel, the living is easy here, with an acclaimed onsite restaurant, concierge services, an infinity pool with private cabanas and loungers, and a full fitness center. But the most glorious thing about living in the Caribbean Club is its location on Seven Mile Beach, and the exclusive access of residents to 300 feet of it, requiring nothing more than a stroll downstairs and out the front door.
