Welcome to Real Estate Friday!

Come for the views but stay for the beauty of the house, a Montery Contemporary offered by Cortney Dupont of Cohen+White Accociates. Designer Jess Cooney talks about how to design kids’ spaces for enduring appeal as the kids grow older. Plus, real estate market view, recent sales, gardening columns and more.

Here’s what we have for you this week in The Edge Real Estate section:

  • Property of the Week – Cortney Dupont of Cohen+White Associates offers a Monterey Contemporary with sweeping views.
  • Transformations – Designer Jess Cooney explores the central problem of designing kids’ spaces: how to design both for now and for when they grow older.
  • Weekly real estate transactions for Berkshire County, Northern Litchfield County and Columbia County.
  • Market Perspective – The number of sales and the dollar volume transacted are both down in 2023.
  • The Self-Taught Gardener – Plants that last just for the season often sound like a poor investment, but they allow a gardener to play with color, form and seasonality with minimal outlay.
  • The Lazy Berkshire Gardener – Jodi talks about her plan to plant beautiful annuals, keeping in mind a plan of color combinations and the goal of attracting hummingbirds. But don’t plant those handing baskets or containers yet. The daytime temperatures are fine, but the nights are too cool.
