Anonymous
The property features highlight homes that pair distinctive design with practical living: a renovated 1960s suburban house in Ireland offers an open-plan extension, energy-efficiency upgrades and a self-contained apartment suited to rental income. In Israel’s Sharon region, a newly built family home reinterprets Modern Farmhouse style with restrained contemporary architecture, natural materials and generous open living spaces. A Connecticut country house built in the 1920s for a Rockefeller is presented as a showcase for layered American decorating, antiques and art. A separate roundup spotlights five urban homes—from historic houses to converted lofts—that bring cottagecore character and period details to city neighborhoods.

Among the urban cottagecore examples, a former paper-company warehouse has been converted into a loft with 11-foot ceilings and original fir-plank floors; its live/work zoning allows use as a residence, studio or showroom.
