Writer William Arthur Ward once said, “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” For most of us, our homes are places that fill us with immense gratitude as we relish both the most ordinary and extraordinary moments of our lives. These ten newly listed residences — from a majestic Greenwich traditional set on three mid-country acres to a mesmerizing contemporary villa in Saint Tropez — tell their own stories of gratitude within their walls, whether it’s through inspiring views, hand-crafted details or the openness of a floorplan.
