Ornate Alexandria townhouse is styled after Versailles
Until four years ago, 810 Prince St. in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, was a historic townhouse carved into three apartments. Today, the 1830 red brick house has been restored to its single-family status with inlaid Italian marble medallions in its floors, filigree dripping from every corner, gold leaf ceilings and gold toilets in each of the five bathrooms — and renamed the Prince.

A Cleveland Browns Scion's 6-Story Manhattan Townhouse Lists for $20 Million
Almost four years ago, James Haslam doled out $12.5 million for a historic townhouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. The filmmaker and co-owner of the David Armstrong Archive subsequently enlisted the services of friend and interior designer Amy Kolker of Jane Street Projects, and together they embarked upon an extensive renovation of the formerly white-walled residence that was recently featured in Architectural Digest. Halsam, whose parents, Jimmy and Dee Haslam of Haslam Sports Group, co-own the NFL's Cleveland Browns and the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, has now decided to put the strikingly transformed digs on the market for a speck under $20 million. Matthew Slosar and Justin Grabell of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

Townhouse Can Be Yours for $13.5 Million When coming up with a design plan, Kolker and Haslam gleaned their inspiration from a set of very specific people and places—the modern steel-and-glass Maison de Verre residence in Paris dating to the 1930s; Austro-Hungarian architect Adolf Loos, known for his minimalist yet luxe spaces; filmmaker David Lynch and his penchant for stark surrealism; and Italian design master Lorenzo Mongiardino's poetic maximalism. The result? A conglomeration of plush, moody interiors that evoke an old-world ambience, set sometime between the 1930s and 1970s. Standing out in the five-bedroom, eight-bath spread, which clocks in at 22 feet wide and 7,500 square feet across six levels, is a double-height living room boasting terracotta pavers sealed in a glossy black epoxy, a wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling industrial windows trimmed in a deep red shade. Soft, sheer ivory curtains open to reveal a bamboo garden inspired by Halston's house on the Upper East Side. RELATED: Art Dealer Barbara Gladstone's Elegant Manhattan Row House Lists for $12 Million Other highlights include an office and a dining room/library, as well as an emerald-tiled kitchen outfitted with veined-marble countertops, custom brass sinks, and a high-end Wolf range. A dark navy lounge/media room next to the kitchen sports a wood-burning fireplace with a custom Italian marble surround and glass doors spilling out to an awning-topped balcony. Holding court by itself on the fifth floor is a posh primary suite flaunting a fireside sitting area, a large dressing room, and a luxe bath equipped with heated black limestone floors and a sky-lit walk-in shower. Two landscaped rooftop terraces have a sunroom lounge in the middle, while the basement holds a catering kitchen and a ton of storage space. Rounding it all out are surround sound, Lutron lighting, and water-filtration systems, plus an elevator that travels to each of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.

B.C. judge says concerns ‘overblown' in court challenge to Squamish townhouse project
Apartments, condos and houses are seen in downtown Squamish, B.C., on Thursday, June 26, 2025. (Darryl Dyck / The Canadian Press) VANCOUVER — The B.C. Supreme Court says concerns raised by Squamish, B.C., residents in a legal challenge to a townhouse development project are 'overblown,' paving the way for high-density housing in one of the country's fastest-growing communities. A ruling issued Thursday says Dennis and Andrea Smith wanted to stop a four-unit townhouse project from being built on a neighbouring property, claiming a 'building scheme' from 1959 only allows for single family homes to be built on the lot. The court ruling says the developer behind the project, Clearwater Park GP Inc., sought to cancel or modify the scheme to allow the project to go ahead. It says the homeowners opposed the townhouse project because it will 'change the character of the neighbourhood,' impacting their privacy, increasing traffic and reducing pedestrian safety. The judge's decision says 'circumstances have changed' since the creation of the 1959 building scheme, and it has been 'widely ignored' for years, allowing residents to conduct renovations and build secondary suites. Judge Frits Verhoeven's ruling says the building scheme is therefore 'obsolete' and the company has a development permit from the District of Squamish, rejecting the Smiths' bid to halt the project and agreeing to cancel the building scheme at the heart of the court challenge. 'I am not without sympathy for the desire of the Smiths and other property owners and residents of the area to preserve their neighbourhood as it is, including in particular its single family, low-density nature,' Judge Verhoeven wrote. " However, in relation to the exercise of the court's residual discretion, the need of the community for additional housing is also relevant." The ruling says Squamish is among Canada's 10 fastest-growing communities, with its population growing more than 22 per cent between 2016 and 2021. The ruling says its population was just under 24,000 people in 2021, and is forecasted to grow past 40,000 by 2040. 'Consideration of the public interest does not favour the position of the Smiths that the court should refuse to cancel the building scheme,' the court ruled. This report by Darryl Greer of The Canadian Press was first published July 5, 2025.
