An incredibly intimate home, the Main house at Reverie is nonetheless nearly 7,000 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms, five full and two half baths, several ancient fireplaces, and an historic ''pub'', reputed to be the oldest part of the house. There is a Gunite pool, privately situated among mature gardens, a tennis court, and a beguiling number of ancient trees around the property.

Gray lived at the property with his wife Francine du Plessix, the noted journalist-novelist. Other luminaries who lived nearby include statesman Henry Kissinger, novelist Philip Roth, and landscape painter Eric Sloane. The numerous additional buildings allow for multiple art studios, gymnasiums, offices, or party barns. Reverie is conveniently located to Lake Waramaug, the Mayflower Inn, and is an easy drive to the many private schools for which Northwestern CT is renowned.

1 West 67th Street, Unit 616/6E, Manhattan, New York 10023
c.1917 • 2 bedrooms • 1.5 baths • $4,350,000!
Originally conceived as a two-bedroom, this luminous, triple-mint duplex of approximately 1,800 square feet - set within the legendary Hotel des Artistes - has been meticulously reimagined as a gracious one-bedroom residence of exceptional quality and character. Included with the home is a staff room on the same floor, complete with a half bath and washer dryer.
A sun-drenched, soaring, nearly nineteen-foot living room unfolds beneath a hand-painted, beamed ceiling - magnificently restored by Smithsonian conservators, who revived every brushstroke and carving. Fourteen-foot casement windows flood the space with warm southern and eastern light, creating an atmosphere both grand and serene. Architectural details abound - from the restored iron window work to the carved wood staircase, balustrade, and hand-hewn stone fireplace that anchors the living room with warmth and gravity.
Pocket doors connect the living and dining rooms to create an effortless flow, as the spacious dining area opens onto a charming balcony overlooking the dome of a neighboring church. Just off of the dining room, the exquisitely renovated chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and a distinctive copper-clad vent hood that grounds the space with style and warmth.
Up the architecturally striking staircase, the tranquil, sun-washed primary suite enjoys soft southern light and a glimpse of Central Park. An incredibly spacious walk-in closet - formerly a second bedroom - can be easily reconverted if desired. The marble-clad primary bath feels spa-like, with a deep soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. A powder room was thoughtfully added on this level for convenience. Central air conditioning ensures modern comfort throughout.
very element of the home reflects an uncommon level of thoughtfulness. Light fixtures are antique or custom-made; hardware, doorknobs, and light switches have been restored and hand-selected to preserve the home’s original spirit. Custom draperies rise dramatically toward the ceiling, complemented by remote-controlled window shades, for effortless ease.
The included staff room (unit 6E) - currently used as a spacious storage area, with potential to serve as a small guest room or home office - is located down the hall on the sixth floor. It offers a half bath and washer/dryer, which could easily swapped for a shower, if desired.
The Hotel des Artistes offers an extraordinary lifestyle. Residents enjoy a swimming pool, private fitness center, squash court, bike storage, and a high-walled outdoor roof deck. Shareholders also receive room service and preferred dining rates from the acclaimed, on-site Leopard restaurant, while attended elevators and full-service amenities provide comfort and security.
Built in 1917, this eighteen-story Gothic Revival masterpiece has long been home to New York’s cultural and creative elite, from Noël Coward and Isadora Duncan to Mayor John V. Lindsay, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell, and Joel Grey. Perfectly situated right across from Central Park and just moments from Lincoln Center, world-class dining, museums, and transportation, the Hotel des Artistes remains one of Manhattan’s most highly-coveted cooperatives - allowing 50% financing, pets and pieds-à-terre. More than just a spectacular home, this residence is a legacy - an heirloom of fine craftsmanship and culture within one of New York’s most enduring architectural icons.

Albi, Midi-Pyrenees, France
c.1810 • 315 square meters • 5 bedrooms • Land: 5481 sqm • $672,925 approx USD
The house appears on the Napoleonic land register of 1810 in a still modest form, a simple rectangular block nestled between a garden and cultivated fields. Successive alterations in the 19th century gave it its current appearance: an imposing, well-proportioned manor house, whose presence on the edge of a now urbanized neighborhood is explained by the fact that its original estate occupied most of the area. Located on the south bank of the Tarn River, it overlooks the river from a steep slope, an almost belvedere position. The plot of approximately 5,500 square meters forms a wooded setting planted with mature trees, a variety of old specimens whose intertwining creates shaded areas and an uncommon sense of privacy within the city. The house occupies the center of the property, allowing the garden to unfold all around it, like a protective green enclosure. More information at the listing.
