Peabody & Stearns and Real Estate!

Lots of people ask me if I know of Peabody & Stearns-designed homes that are currently for sale.  Well, of course I do!  And wouldn't I love to have one!  .....  For those of you who are yearning for your own P&S house, I will try to include links to current listings on my blog site from time to time.  Right now I know of at least two homes: 
In Newport, Rhode Island, there is a wonderful home, Honeysuckle Lodge, that is offered for sale.  I first visited Honeysuckle Lodge about 14 years ago, when I was working on my master's thesis.  And, I visited it a couple of weeks ago, with the group from the Peabody & Stearns symposium hosted by the Newport International Tennis Hall of Fame--we had three lectures (I was one of the invited speakers...), had lunch, and then visited three P&S homes in Newport.  The weather was wonderful, for a change, and I think that everyone loved Honeysuckle Lodge the best.  See the listing information on the Gustave White website http://www.gustavewhite.com/..  Listed at $10,900,000, it is an exquisite property, but so very liveable!  Here's their video and presentation materials....  If you buy it, be sure to tell them that I sent you!!  http://www.seetheproperty.com/presentation_v2/presentation.php?order_id=65125&mode=branded&ws=1&from=http%3A//www.google.com/url%3Fsa%3Dt%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D8%26ved%3D0CEQQFjAH%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.seetheproperty.com%252F65125%26rct%3Dj%26q%3Dhoneysuckle%2520lodge%2520newport%2520ri%26ei%3DkaHdTenIGcH40gH_ibHfDw%26usg%3DAFQjCNGCV-XkpccQdbTXXJ-RsSI9RMTxzw

For those who want a city propety, try the Bradley mansion in Boston:  http://www.thebradley.com/ offered by The Campion Company.  OR, for 22 Irving Street in Brookline....a wonderfully restored P&S home with LOTS of special P&S history....http://www.movoto.com/real-estate/homes-for-sale/MA/Brookline/22-Irving-St-300_71168782.htm.  Offered by Movoto Real Estate.

So, hope that helps all of you looking to buy an authentic Peabody & Stearns designed home.....let me know about others, and I'll be happy to post them!  More info on all of these in future blogs!
