Located by the Bluefish River, this 18th-century property has entered the market with contemporary updates.

Allison Cayzer of Coldwell Banker Realty-Back Bay listed the mansion at 47 St. George St. in Duxbury also known as Riverlea for $4,650,000 on Dec. 9. The Colonial has six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half bathroom in 4,600 square feet of living space.

Riverlea was originally constructed in the 1700s by shipping mogul Samuel Frazer, according to the listing. A recent full renovation has introduced modern features, including central air and heating, gas fireplaces, and smart-home technology.

The main event on the first floor is an open living, dining, and kitchen space with oak flooring and numerous windows overlooking the water. The adjoining porch also offers views of the river. This side of the home includes a mudroom and an office with exposed wood beams. On the other end is a suite with a bedroom, bath, eat-in kitchen, and a family room with a stone fireplace.

Upstairs, the owner suite is a private oasis with its own deck, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining bath with a dual vanity, soaking tub, cove ceiling, and standalone shower. This floor also features more bedrooms, two laundry rooms, and a second family room.

Outside, the listing includes gardens, a koi pond, decks, a brick patio, and an outdoor shower not to mention a two-car garage and a barn with three vehicle bays. In addition to river access, the property boasts an in-ground swimming pool on its 1.28 acres.

Luxury Home of Week: For $4.65M, a riverside Colonial in Duxbury - Boston.com

The Irish country house is a space where order and beauty meet, or so WB Yeats is said to have said. But if you happen to own one, you might find life a little more chaotic. Perhaps thats the nature of the beast: those remarkable faades standing for stability, telling of centuries of minding the land; while inside owners are all too aware of dry rot, harsh drafts, rattling roof tiles and damp patches. Persevere though and you can still achieve your own little corner of tranquility and, as Geralyn and Kieran White of Ballysallagh in Co Kilkenny demonstrate, you dont have to be landed or titled, to claim title to a very nice patch of land.

Ballysallagh has just won the inaugural OFlynn Group Heritage Prize. Devised by architectural historian, Robert OByrne, the annual prize of 5,000 acknowledges the owners commitment to the preservation of buildings. Its a timely boost, as while such houses may inspire envy, keeping them going nowadays is a headache raised to migraine-levels by Covid-19. Think about all that income evaporating overnight from weddings and sleepovers, garden visits and house tours, and the festivals that take over the likes of Stradbally (Electric Picnic) and Ballinlough (Body & Soul).

The OFlynn award is open to members of Historic Houses of Ireland (HHI). Set up in 2008 to support owners of these properties, there are currently 140 member houses. HHI have also recently collaborated with Creative Ireland on a report exploring how these houses can be more widely used: as exhibition and concert venues, film locations, forest schools, centres for biodiversity and more. As OByrne puts it, nobody hugs these houses to themselves. These days the owners are thrilled if its giving them income.

I recall the late Desmond Guinness, who co-founded the Irish Georgian Society, telling me about wearing coats to bed, and murky tepid water when his turn for a bath came at the end of a succession of family members. When Kilkenny pharmacists, the Whites bought Ballysallagh in 1987, it would have answered to a similar description.

We bought it from a love of the architecture, and what we could do with it, recalls Geralyn. It was in the height of the first recession, the windows were all falling out, there was no heating, no sense of comfort. But, Georgian houses come up rarely enough in Kilkenny, maybe once in a generation, the weather was glorious, and we looked at it through rose coloured glasses

Full of energy and optimism, the Whites applied for a Government bathroom and window grant, and with 35 windows to restore, they were cautiously optimistic. But the Government fell overnight, and the grants were removed. We were devastated, says Kieran.

Then I contacted the Irish Georgian Society, says Geralyn, taking up the story... Nothing daunts her, says Kieran... And they said they had no grants, but could we have some people to dinner?

For those not in the know, tours of Ireland for wealthy (usually) Americans are big business, and its a business that Filte Ireland is planning to grow, announcing last month that they are exploring the ultra-high net worth luxury travel side of things.

If youre wondering if you might fill the bill, ultra-high net worth means you have liquid assets of at least $5million. If Covid-19 is going to hit mass tourism for the foreseeable future, it makes sense, but these are visitors that dont tend to hop on a bus, or even stay in hotels, unless youre talking the Merrion, Ashford Castle, Adare Manor or Ballyfin end of the scale. Instead, they like to rent castles and go to authentic spots for lunch and dinner. Looked at this way, houses like Ballysallagh are good for the country and the economy.

The Whites first dinner was for The Dallas Garden Club (which sounds like a euphemism, but isnt), and Geralyn received IR40 a head (apparently people with footmen could request more), borrowing glassware from nearby Jerpoint to set the scene.

Wed do it once or twice a year, and it set us up, she says, wonderingly. A Heritage Council grant also helped with the roof but, apart from that, the 30 year project to restore Ballysallagh was funded by passion, ingenuity and sheer grit.

When the first groups came, it was raw, says Geralyn. I practiced the menus on the children, but the Americans loved it. They realised we were a young couple, making it work. As the years went on, weve fine tuned it. With just four bedrooms, Ballysallagh never got into the country house hotel business, but each of those rooms, plus the drawing and dining room on the main floor, and kitchen and study at garden level have been restored with a loving and fastidious eye.

We got heavily into period detail, agrees Kieran. But its finished, he pauses. To a point. It IS finished, declares Geralyn determinedly. We built up a collection of friends and acquaintances who are knowledgeable about these things, says Kieran. Craftspeople who can do lime plastering, stone masons, an upholsterer, a carpenter. The couple agree that these skills are becoming harder to find as fewer younger people want to take on the time commitment of an apprenticeship.

Slaves to symmetry, the Georgians couldnt abide a house that didnt balance, and things had to also look perfect from the outside. Ballysallagh is built on what is known as the tripartite plan, which, Kieran explains, means that if you want a grand entrance hall, youre going to have to suck up a massive gallery above. This solves a mystery I had always pondered: how come large houses of that era seem to waste so much potential bedroom space with vast landings. I had initially (getting my dates utterly muddled) put it down to stiff crinolines.

Geralyn talks passionately about the childhood their now-grown children had in the countryside, exploring with ponies. Kieran is equally passionate about finials and screwfixings. Does he find it hard to relax when things are out of context, I wonder? Yes, says Geralyn immediately, describing his reaction to contemporary light switches popping up in Period dramas, while Kieran contributes a childhood memory of spotting a lorry in the background of a Robin Hood film.

Before Lockdown, the Whites spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Its big and airy, we like cooking, and the Aga gives heat. The study on the same floor is also a very snug room.

In the kitchen, the table and chairs were made by Kieran Costello of Freshford, from 14ft lengths of Irish elm, which themselves had come from the Brabazon family at Kilruddery Estate. The cupboards and window shutters were salvaged from Long Orchard House in Tipperary, and this, says Geralyn, was long before we had access to Google and eBay to source things.

Covid shifted the couples way of living however. We used the drawing room a lot during the lockdown. Wed go up and sit and look at the cattle crossing inthe evenings. Its something we never had time for before. We had used it of course for entertaining, but through lockdown we have a whole new affection for it. It became a new friend to us. Like so many of us, Covid also led the Whites to a decluttering project, and it is a relief to hear that even big houses can have too much stuff.

A house is a pathway to understanding the past. Not just the people who lived in it, but the artefacts and the crafts, and the people who made them, says Geralyn. She tells of coming across a pair of 18th century portraits, unframed at Adams Auctioneers, and realising that they were of Dr John Doyle and his wife, Frances Savage, former owners of the house. They werent the Right Honourable anyone, but I knew them from the history of this house. Now the Doyles are framed and back home, gracing the walls of Ballysallagh once more.

If Ballysallagh really is finished, do the Whites have new plans for the future? Geralyn talks about occasionally loving the idea of a glass contemporary house, you know, the kind with underfloor heating and one sofa. Youd be bored, says Kieran. Weve put so much into this house, says Geralyn, Theres so much of us in it. I couldnt see us parting with it.

With a number of bodies, but little cohesion, its hard to know where to start when tackling an historic house project. From the Irish Georgian Society to the Heritage Council, the Irish Historic Trust, the Landmark Trust and Historic Houses of Ireland, theres still surprisingly little support. Now open for applications for 2021, the Historic Structures Fund could be a good bet. Run by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, it awards grants of between 15,000 and 50,000, and 50,000 to 200,000 depending on the size of the property and it doesnt just cover places with parapets, turrets and ha-has. Theres also a strand for vernacular heritage. Find out more from your own Local Authority, but hurry, the closing date is January 29th.

Restoring country home glory takes blood, sweat and tears - The Irish Times

Global property investment company Hines and APG are seeking planning permission for the next phase of its redevelopment of the Player Wills site in Dublin, with 732 new homes and two new parks proposed.

The strategic housing application will also include the restoration of the former Player Wills building in Dublin 8, turning the former factory into a new mixed-use space with 287 new residential units, including 240 shared living industrial-style loft units.

Hines Ireland managing director Gary Corrigan said the planned development would deliver much-needed residential accommodation and extensive new amenity, community and outdoor recreational space to benefit all residents in the area.

The development will also include the full restoration of the original building and an extension to the rear, with residential units, new community, artistic and cultural spaces, along with separate commercial space for activities such as small business and co-working facilities.

Our extensive engagement with local residents over the past 18 months was a turning point in determining our approach with the much-loved Player Wills building, he said. Our aim here is to make the Player Wills building once again the beating heart of a new and vibrant community in Dublin 8.

The application includes four new pedestrian access points into the Players Will site from South Circular Road, St Catherines Avenue and Donore Avenue; a low-speed internal road network that prioritises bicycle-users and pedestrians; and more than 1,000 dedicated bicycle spaces, 903 of which will be long-stay and located underground or in secure on-surface bike rooms.

Planning permission was granted in September for 404 new apartments, two duplex, three triplex apartments and four houses on the former Bailey Gibson lands. However, construction has been delayed until the outcome of a judicial review process is concluded.

If the second phase is approved, the combined Player Will and Bailey Gibson sites will deliver 1,552 new homes.

It may again face opposition from local residents, however, with the Dublin 8 Residents Association saying on Wednesday that it would be reviewing the new application very closely, particularly in relation to height and the proposed co-living element which has been clearly signalled by government as undesirable.

This is the reason why several homeowners now transform a part of their home into a home office to support their needs work-wise. In line with this, below are some extravagant renovation ideas that will allow you to have a home office space that greatly supports productiveness.

One of the primary parts of your house that can be transformed into a great home office space is your loft. In searching online for ideas that can inspire you, you may come across the link loftera.co.uk/blog/loft-conversion-cost/that provides you with a good insight into how much a loft conversion may cost. According to this article, the budget that you have to allocate depends on the type of loft that you wish to have, whether you intend to go for a roof light, a dormer, a hip to gable, or a mansard. Just keep in mind to employ the proper insulation on your loft to ensure that you are comfortable while working.

Another space in your home that you can convert into an office is your attic. However, since most attics are oddly shaped, you need to plan the perfect layout of your office to fit in it accordingly. In this case, you should go for a minimalist vibe and implement a solid color palette. Nevertheless, you can still place accents of color throughout your space to expand the space of your attic. There is also the option for you to go for a drop-front desk to save space.

More and more people are considering the transformation of their basement into a home office space that they can use for a long time. Just keep in mind to improve the lighting in your basement by using the proper fixtures. In parallel to this, you can also apply a fresh coat of paint in light colors to add more brightness to your space. There is also the option for you to go all white to generate a fresh and clean look.

Some people convert their garage into a home office space that makes them comfortable to work. However, to transform your garage into a fully functional home office space, your garage needs to have electricity, heat, water, and communication peripherals. In this case, you can add pops of color for a more inviting and aesthetically pleasing design. Perhaps the only drawback of having to convert your garage into a home office area is that you need to park your car outside.

In case you dont have a room in your home to spare or transform into an office space, then altering a space corner will prove to be sufficient. In this case, you need to leverage a desk that is customized to fit the corner of the room that you will be using. If you can go for a corner of your home that is close to a window, then make sure to take advantage of the natural light coming in. Aside from using light drapes, explore window treatments that will allow you to bring the outdoors in. On the other hand, if the space corner is bounded purely by walls, consider using energizing colors that will make the space feel less cramped.

Another extravagant renovation idea is to extend your home to cater to an office space, which will cost you anywhere from $30000 to $50000. With a new addition, you will have the freedom to design the interior of the additional space depending on how you deem fit. Just keep in mind that since this is additional space in your home, you need to ensure that you comply with building codes and zoning regulations during its construction.

Apart from an extension, you can also convert an outside structure into a great home office. For instance, there is the option for you to transform an enclosed cabana or a tool shed to cater to your office needs.

While working from home can be quite convenient, it can also prove to be challenging, particularly if you dont have a dedicated space where you can comfortably work on your tasks. This is the reason why you should consider home renovation possibilities to cater to a home office space. In this case, take some inspiration from the ideas listed above and for sure, you will have a workspace conducive to being productive in no time.

KCRW looks at how much LA taxpayers are funding low-income housing, and whether that money is being put to good use. The latest idea: tiny homes. Theyre eight by eight foot sheds, much like garden sheds people might have in their backyards. Theyre to be used as transitional housing until something more permanent comes along.

An LA Times investigation finds that each one costs the City of LA about $8600, but factoring in other ancillary costs, the total price is about $130,000. LA is expected to open the first village of these tiny homes after January 1, 2021, in North Hollywood near public transit.

Why the six-figure cost? LA Times reporter Doug Smith says, It starts with a design that goes through some vetting by city bureaucracies the Fire Department, the Building and Safety Department, Bureau of Engineering. And they all have standards and requirements. And so it ends up becoming something with development standards and concrete pads for each unit, underground utilities, a half million dollar hookup to the sewer system, lighting, security shack, administrative offices, and a fire access road. And the dollars just sort of keep piling up.

KCRW talks to Smith about his probe, plus Rusty Bailey, the former mayor of Riverside, where some of these tiny homes are installed. Bailey lived in one of them for a time.

Jennifer Aydin is making some big changes to her home. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member recently revealed that she and her family have been living in the basement while their kitchen undergoes a major remodel.

On December 10, the mom of five took to her Instagram Stories to share her renovation plans. Weve been living in the basement. Im redoing my kitchen, she explained in the video as she panned the camera around the massive space.

Jennifer previously shared a closer look at her sprawling, 8,000-square-foot basement back in April. The area is certainly one of the highlights of her enormous Paramus manse. In addition to featuring a small kitchenette, the basement also boasts plenty of amenities to keep the family entertained, including a movie theater, a spa, a sauna, and even an indoor basketball court.

As for the kitchen renovation, Jennifer didnt share any specific details of her plans, although she did promise to make a big reveal once the work is completed. Im not going to show you guys until its done, she said.

COVID-19 has shaped the face of 2020, delivering shockwaves through the economy and sending much of the American workforce into sudden unemployment. Record-breaking hurricane and wildfire seasons have further impacted millions of peoples daily lives and finances across the country. While there have been some signs of economic improvement in recent months, many Americans continue to face hardships. Despite this, it appears that a significant number of people may have left money on the table by failing to review or update their insurance policies in response to the unprecedented circumstances of 2020.

To study the importance of insurance policies to a consumers overall financial well-being, Bankrate partnered with YouGov to survey nearly 3,000 adults across the country in early November, asking what these policyholders did differently in 2020 that could have affected their insurance. We found that about 46% of people with home insurance policies and 36% of those with auto insurance policies did not review their 2020 policies. Of those who did not review their policies, nearly half (48%) with homeowners insurance and more than one-third (38%) with auto insurance should have done so based on lifestyle adjustments that could either help them save money or may have caused them to require additional coverage.

The survey also revealed some interesting trends about things people have done in 2020 that could have affected home and auto policy premiums. Of the U.S. adults that Bankrate surveyed, 21% improved their credit score, 15% did home renovations, 12% stopped commuting to work, 8% got a dog and 7% added new security to their home.

As everyone heads into 2021, it may be a good idea to pull out those policies to review them and make any changes needed before the new year begins.

In 2020, one-third of American adults have turned to their retirement or savings to pay the bills, especially those in lower-income households who were already struggling. Pew Research Center reports that about 25% of American households have been affected by job losses and layoffs this year, making money tighter than ever as COVID-19 numbers continue to spike ahead of an anticipated vaccine.

According to the World Bank, as the pandemic progresses, the economic damage is already evident and represents the largest economic shock the world has experienced in decades.

With money tight for so many Americans, people are looking for ways to save money wherever possible. Still, many may not have considered the importance auto and home insurance can have to their overall financial portfolio.

For many, their homes represent their largest asset as well as their highest expense. And many may not realize what activities and behaviors impact home insurance premiums. For example, simple daily life changes can lower rates. For the 7% of survey respondents with homeowners insurance who did not review their policy but added new security to their home, their insurance companies would likely have agreed to extend extra policy discounts in exchange for the additional protection.

Credit score, one of several factors that determine premiums, is another area where consumers can lower insurance costs. The 19% of survey respondents with homeowners insurance believe their credit score improved in 2020 and would likely be able to negotiate a lower premium with their insurance providers going forward.

An activity that can have either a positive or negative effect on home insurance premiums is home renovation. It depends what kind of work has been completed on the home some renovations, such as putting in a new roof, can decrease premiums, while others, such as adding a pool in the backyard, drive rates up. Based on survey results, the 17% of respondents with homeowners insurance who did not review their policy but completed home renovations may be over or underinsured and not realize it.

Since adding pets to the family seemed to be a popular activity in 2020 as well, its worth noting that owning certain dog breeds can also drive home insurance costs up or prevent home insurance providers from covering you.

Its a good idea for homeowners to check their existing policies and speak with their insurance providers to see where they can save money, either now or in the first half of 2021. Its also smart to check and see what kinds of activities may require additional insurance coverage so that there are no surprises in the event of a claim.

The amount of time people spend on the road has changed significantly in 2020 as well. Early on, the COVID-19 pandemic essentially cleared the roadways, and major car insurance providers Allstate, GEICO and Progressive all reported a 30% decrease in auto insurance claims related to damaged property and bodily injury through mid-2020, according to Fitch Ratings. Some insurance companies distributed refunds or extended discounts to policyholders because of so many cars grounded at home. Through the YouGov study, Bankrate found that many drivers did not take advantage of all the savings that might have been available to them. However, even as traffic levels begin to increase again towards pre-pandemic levels, there may still be some opportunities for car owners to save money.

Almost 40% of surveyed Americans with auto insurance reported that they had not reviewed their policy. However, more than 20% who had not reviewed their policy believed that their credit score had improved. Similar to home insurance, a credit score is typically an important factor in determining auto insurance premiums.

Working from home can also reduce auto insurance rates. For the 14% of auto insurance policyholders who have stopped commuting but still have not reviewed their auto insurance policy, its possible they can lower their auto premiums. Many of those working from home since the pandemic began will continue to do so into 2021, so it may be a good idea to contact your insurance provider and ask for a discount.

Insurance providers employ people to regularly review and evaluate their customers policies to ensure that they keep up with trends and charge appropriate rates. However, these people work for the insurance company, not for you, which is why its important to remain diligent with your policies.

Our study shows that only 54% of homeowners and 64% of auto insurance policyholders had reviewed their insurance policies since the beginning of 2020. Policyholders over 18 with a higher income were more likely to review their home insurance, with 60% making over $80,000 annually, compared to 47% of homeowners who make below $40,000. 64% of auto policyholders over 18 across all income brackets were more likely to have reviewed their auto insurance, compared to just 36% who make below $40,000.

Anyone can benefit from reviewing their insurance policies to identify savings, but it may be especially helpful for households with lower incomes. By cluing your provider into key lifestyle changes, you could save a fortune in insurance premiums and also perhaps find alternate coverage that is more suitable for where you are in life.

This survey makes one thing clear: by not regularly reviewing their home and auto insurance policies, policyholders are missing opportunities to save money and protect their most valuable assets. Insurance is an integral part of any financial plan because life is full of surprises. But even if you failed to take advantage of some of the unique opportunities that 2020 presented to save money on insurance, its not too late.

Many insurance providers have simplified the process, making it easier to monitor policies with online and mobile tools. You can also review your policies, file claims, track progress and contact customer service for support. 2020 may have presented new challenges for many of us, but taking a moment to review home and auto insurance policies could help you set yourself up for success and savings in 2021.

Bankrate.com commissioned YouGov Plc to conduct the survey. All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. The total sample size was 2,931 adults, including 1,968 with homeowners insurance and 2,441 with auto insurance. Fieldwork was undertaken November 5 6, 2020. The survey was carried out online and meets rigorous quality standards. It employed a non-probability-based sample using both quotas upfront during collection and then a weighting scheme on the back end designed and proven to provide nationally representative results.

The wind-driven Silverado Fire in Irvine burned 12,466 acres two months ago. The land is a scorched checkerboard with some areas black and barren, and others with signs of life.

Crews and volunteers with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy spent the last five years restoring Agua Chinon Canyon, in the east hills of Irvine, back to its native state, with lush vegetation around the creek. The conservancy had just finished restoring it when the Silverado Fire hit, burning in much of the same footprint as the destructive Santiago Fire did in 2007. That earlier fire churned through 28,445 acres, destroying 16 homes.

Irvine Ranch Conservancy CEO Michael OConnell said there is a silver lining from the Silverado Fire. Part of restoring the habitat means taking out the invasive species before you restore the natives. And if we did a good job of that, its unlikely that there are a lot of invasive weeds in there to come back and that it will come back as native plants. Weve seen that in other areas like some of the restorations after the Woolsey Fire in the Santa Monica Mountains. Theyve actually come back pretty healthy. So we look at this as a big opportunity to study further our restoration methods and see if they are resilient over time.
