What $7 Million Buys in Five Cities

Michigan_BLOG.jpg

If there’s one impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on luxury real estate, it’s to help buyers hone in on what they truly want. Not surprisingly, waterfront properties are high on the list. In our monthly review of five cities, we found four waterfront properties, each one unique in its own right, priced in the $7 million range. There’s the Boston Harbor luxury condo, the nautical-themed Michigan estate set on two bodies of water, a Lake Minnetonka gem with incredible water frontage and astounding views, and a Dubai villa right on the Palm Jumeirah. Then, for a little something different, we have a citrus grove estate in Somis, Calif., 45 minutes down the coast from Santa Barbara. The lifestyle may be a little different, but the luxury quotient is definitely not. 22 Liberty Drive, Unit 11F Boston, MA 3 Bedrooms 3 Baths and 1 Partial 2,674 Square Feet Enjoy the rare air high above Boston Harbor.

Two additional bedroom suites give you ample room for family and guests, and you also have a spacious library with a floor-to-ceiling window to use as a home office or reading room.
