Secluded & Serene Retreat

Haddam, Connecticut | $1,095,000

This special property was the former Reverend John Marsh parsonage circa 1818. It has been privately owned for the last 41 years by the same family and is now ready for a new steward. This gracious historic home features a light-filled eat-in kitchen, a fabulous enclosed sunporch overlooking verdant views of the property, and multiple fireplaces. There are several multifunctional rooms including a library with built-in bookcases, a music room, and a generously sized great room with beamed cathedral ceilings. There are also five spacious bedrooms and 2.5 updated bathrooms. The property is set on over four acres with stone walls running throughout, and outbuildings, including a carriage house that has plenty of space for a workshop, a studio, or an office. Behind the carriage house you’ll find a natural in-ground gunite pool in a lush private setting.

c. 1887

Four Palms

Davis, California | $3,315,000

There is a quiet kind of luxury in having space – space to move, gather, create, and breathe. At Four Palms, that space is found in a way that is increasingly rare: 1.34 acres in the heart of Davis, where the rhythm of town life and the feeling of retreat exist side by side. Originally built in 1887 as part of one of Davis’s early estates, the home carries forward a legacy of craftsmanship with first-growth redwood milled on site, custom plaster detailing, and gracious proportions. Thoughtfully restored and reimagined, it honors its Eastlake Victorian roots while introducing a refined European sensibility. Outside, the property lives like a private park. Lush trees, expansive lawns, garden beds, a saltwater pool, sport court, workshop, barn, sheds, and a playhouse create an environment equally suited for entertaining, recreation, and everyday life.

Frederick Scholes House

Essex, Connecticut | $4,195,000

Steeped in history and prominently positioned in the heart of Essex Village, the distinguished ”Frederick Scholes House” (circa 1890) offers a rare opportunity to own a landmark waterfront estate. Cherished by its current owners for 49 years and nestled on a quiet lane along picturesque Middle Cove, just off the Connecticut River, this property seamlessly blends timeless character with refined living. Set on a .45 private lot, this meticulously maintained antique residence spans approximately 3,769 square feet and captures serene water views from its beautifully landscaped grounds. Despite its central village location, just moments to shops, dining, and marinas, the home offers an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Rich in architectural charm, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and elegant, light-filled interiors that reflect generations of thoughtful stewardship.

c. 1830

Gem on Washington Street

Bath, Maine | $899,000

Beautifully restored, this classic Greek Revival home stands on Bath’s prestigious Washington Street among the other notable historic homes. Many were originally built for the sea captains and prosperous traders who shipped Maine products to Europe, Asia, and around the globe. A gracious wide entry hall leads to spacious, well-proportioned double living rooms with the original pocket doors that can be closed for privacy. A cozy pine library, with built in bookcases, extends off the front hall. Extensive renovations have refreshed the home with a contemporary feel while still maintaining the architectural integrity of this 1830 gem.
