Designed by Philip Hardwick in 1827, the 4-bedroom property was originally built for the dockmaster responsible for managing St Katharine Docks. Today, it includes richly decorated interiors and a private walled garden beside the river.

Tormer Provençal home and studio of Nadia Léger, is on the market in Callian for €3.15 million. Set across 7.4 acres with olive groves, a pool and a 4,198 ft² artist’s studio, the estate offers a rare link to the Polish-born modern artist whose work has recently returned to the spotlight after decades in the shadow of her husband, Fernand Léger.

North of Florence, the 44-hectare estate sits in Tuscany’s greener, more mountainous and heavily wooded landscape, near the Mugello, the historic homeland of the Medici family.

Set in the Pisan hills near Fauglia, the restored villa dates to the early 20th century and is built in the Liberty style, the Italian take on Art Nouveau.

Built at the turn of the 20th century for James E. Nichols and designed by C.P.H. Gilbert, 4 East 79th Street has lived several lives: private Gilded Age mansion, crime scene, diplomatic address, subdivided residence, and ultimately a painstakingly reconstructed single-family home.

Sport Island sits in New York’s Thousand Islands, the St. Lawrence River archipelago along the Canadian border that became one of the Gilded Age’s fashionable summer destinations. Built around 1880 for a prominent Pennsylvania railroad-industrialist family, the property has since undergone a substantial partial restoration.

The 5-bedroom farmhouse was built around a 13th-century watchtower, with views across the rolling Tuscan hills, around 30 minutes from Siena and under an hour from Florence.

Known as the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria is home to this historic Antico Borgo Rurale, where a group of old farm buildings has been restored as one private estate.

“What separates Staples Point is that its greatest assets can’t be recreated,” says listing agent Sam Michaud of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. “The land, the frontage, the five lighthouse views, the privacy and the proximity to Portland cannot be replicated.”

A 10,800 ft² Greek Revival townhouse overlooking Washington Square Park has come to market after more than 60 years in the same family.
