Letter from the editor

“We will evolve, we will adapt, and eventually we will move on with a new focus that will be open to solutions for living with choices and flexibility.”

Living with New Choices Second Homes are Filling a New Role “NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION” is an English-language proverb. It means, roughly, that the primary driving force for most new trends and inventions is need; this could never be truer than it is today. If the year 2020 has taught us anything, it would be to expect the unexpected. No one could have imagined that our lives would be so affected in so many ways by the events that have occurred in the last 10 months. What we have learned from all of this will eventually become the catalyst that will change all of our lives moving forward for years to come. Much like 9/11, the events of the last year will have a profound impact on our living, working, and social environments throughout society as a whole. There will not be “Back to Normal” but instead, back to a new normal that will be forever different for us all. We will evolve, we will adapt, and eventually we will move on with a new focus that will be open to solutions for living with choices and flexibility. A new real estate market term has grown in popularity out of this crisis called “Co-Primary Homes.” To put it simply, second homes and vacation home properties have now transitioned into this new category as viable solutions in tenuous times. The rise of the “co-primary” home,

that is a second home, isn’t so secondary anymore. Rather, it is seen as an alternative primary residence for homeowners to flee the confines and density of the city with more square footage, a home office and plenty of space outdoors in a secure setting. “Secondary /vacation homes are more popular than ever, and in rural northeast markets, southern markets and even mountain retreats regions, there has been a huge surge in new activity. The idea of opting for a smaller residence or even renting in major metro markets and owning larger primary homes in more rural or vacation home markets is gaining popularity. Owning a vacation home has long been a way to bring families together. There has never been a better time to shop for a second home and the mortgage rates make it even more possible today. Enjoy the feature in this issue on second homes and vacation homes and be safe! • All the Best,

A Living Expression by The Sea

Brutaliste sur Mer

B

rutaliste sur Mer is a living expression of modern organic architecture located on the Sakonnet Passage along the shores of Rhode Island’s “Hidden Gem” community, Little Compton. The town is a peaceful oasis and a favorite sanctuary for stately residences along the sea. This unique modern home embodies classic design approaches that are sympathetic and well-integrated as part of its spectacular location. It is an expression in design, defined by simplicity of function, beauty and consonance.

N OV EMB ER • D ECEMB ER 2020


One of the true Masters of Modern Architecture was Frank Lloyd Wright. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. The overarching goal promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world. This timeless estate residence, located at the highest elevation in Little Compton, was designed to capture 360 degree views from every room. There are breathtaking views of the coastal countryside, protected agricultural land and unparalleled vistas of the Sakonnet Passage, Sachuest Point and Atlantic Ocean. Located near one of Rhode Island’s most celebrated coastal vineyards, the home is a stones throw from Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard. Brutaliste sur Mer is an expression of art and living reimagined. The home captures the essence of Luxurious living, while embracing a direct connection between indoors and outdoors. It stimulates the senses and embellishes an expression of a “life well lived”. NOV EMBER • DECEMBER 2020

The distinctive, idiosyncratic design of this home lends itself to estate homes in Europe, the West Coast and the Hamptons. The home engages with a challenging context, an architectural and interior approach to translate art and design. The result is strikingly beautiful. This house is a statement and testament to the contextualization of architecture, the enhancement of material technology, and of a holistic understanding and implementation of making a house a home.

AWARD-WINNING

Winnipesaukee Lakeside Retreat

I

n recent years, vacation homes have grown in popularity, especially in the NH Lakes Region. Seen as an oasis and a retreat from the everyday routine, vacation homes in the Lakes Region provide an escape in every season. The Grand Dame, Lake Winnipesaukee, is not only New Hampshire’s largest lake but also the dramatic centerpiece of the state’s famous Lakes Region, with the southernmost stretch of the White Mountains serving as a stunning backdrop.

Winnipesaukee and its eight inviting towns have long been one of the top choices for vacation homes and second homes. This glacial lake’s 72-square-mile sprawl encompasses 264 islands and several large bays and small inlets, plus a wide-open area of water known as the Broads. It’s the ideal setting for boating and outdoor recreation in the spring and summer, leaf peeping in the fall, and ice fishing and snowmobiling in the winter. It is simply one of New England’s most pristine locations and one of the most sought after as well.

CREATIVE AND STYLISH STORAGE IDEAS TO SEPARATE WORK AND HOME

A

lmost every U.S. industry, and its workers have adapted to a work-fromhome model these days. The “temporary” measure lingers, and now home offices are accepted as a viable—and even desirable—alternative to working on-site. However, it can be hard to keep home and work separate. If you don’t want your home hijacked by office debris, you’ll need some creative and stylish storage ideas. Whether your home office is in a separate room or has been combined with another in your home, the clutter that comes with it can permeate a house’s entire atmosphere. Working from home often involves paperwork, computer and printing equipment, office supplies, and endless cords. You need storage that is multifunctional and sophisticated enough to show off in any room. Accent the Positive If you haven’t treated yourself to new desk accessories in a while, you’ll be surprised at how far we’ve come from those old brown desk blotters. You can tuck away smaller bits, such as paper clips and Post-Its, in office organizers with accents that boast luxe materials like marble, agate, and bone. Or you can upgrade to larger boxes that store piles and piles of papers in style: something lacquered or even inlaid with mother of pearl. 3 2 COASTALHOMELIFE .CO M

Skate At Home This Winter

Modern design makes the backyard hockey rink accessible to everyone

A

s the days get shorter and the weather colder, families in northern climates are preparing for the annual transition to winter. This year, the

shift to inside activities is amplified as families are already feeling the impact of remote work, home schooling, and the cancellation of kid’s activities including the closure of ice rinks, organized hockey, and other skating activities. Parents are looking for ways to keep their kids active, and student athletes want to keep their skills sharp. EZ ICE Rinks, a New England based company, offers a solution for families to bring ice skating to their backyard without the hassle of labor-intensive, old-fashioned rink systems. No other outdoor recreation product has revolutionized an industry as much as the EZ ICE 60 Minute Backyard Hockey Rink™. In the past, building a backyard hockey rink was not for the faint of heart. Old fashioned systems required lumber, tools, stakes, and a lot of hard work to fashion a less-than-attractive rink solution. EZ ICE Rinks easily assemble in less than 60 minutes and require no tools, no hammering stakes, and eliminate multiple trips to the hardware store. In addition, they can easily be assembled on any surface including grass, pavement, sport courts and cross-surface scenarios. The result is a family-friendly product that brings ice skating to the convenience of your backyard. It’s more than just a love for hockey that drives the company. EZ ICE’s inventor and CEO, Dylan Gastel, said, “Our mission goes beyond designing the most innovative backyard ice rink. We see the value for families, and our mission is to get one million kids Off the Device and On the Ice™.” •

The New Rise of Co-Primary Home Living

Years ago,

well-off families acquired second homes for family retreats in communities along the coastal shorelines, on lakes and in the mountains for seasonal family retreats. Second homes from small cottages to elaborate estate homes were available in small seasonal communities and coastal islands throughout the Northeast. Winter and ski homes were popular as well along the Adirondack Mountain in New Jersey, Upstate New York and in New England. The key element that drove the vacation home market 50 years ago was convenient access by automobile. Summering along the ocean in Rhode Island, The Cape and Islands and Jersey Shore became an annual event for many. And with those who preferred snow sports and the mountain it was much of the same, a place to get away. What better way to celebrate the holidays, than in a winter wonderland in the mountains with family and friends.

In 2020, we all have experienced a series of life changing events that will forever change the way we live our lives and where. The Coronavirus, political unrest, safety, security and instability have transformed the way we feel about where we live, how we live and at what risk and cost. The second home market across the country is seeing new trends that are driving indications that have never been seen at any time in the history of the vacation home and second home markets. “The psychology of ‘you only live once,’ or YOLO, is driving the surge in second-home sales,” according to a recent article by John Burns Real Estate Consulting. “Households who may have otherwise waited have decided now is the time to buy, often using funds that would otherwise be allocated to more traditional vacation travel. Today’s buyers are showing more interest in lifestyle and use, than rental potential and future appreciation.”

NOV EMBER • DECEMBER 2020

The firm reports that many second-home buyers – most notably those with young school-age children – look for properties less than four hours from their primary residence. “They desire a getaway to ‘invest in family,’ as well as a place of refuge for the future,” John Burns Real Estate Consulting notes. Whether it’s the exodus of congested cities, or a desire for more family friendly environments, one thing is apparent from all of this, the secondary home market is booming.

Locations for second homes have become more diversified than ever, as buyers are looking at places that fit not only vacation focus but also secondary remote communities that offer an option in their life for co-primary living. Many Millennials and X generation sectors are opting for renting in metro markets to be close to work and buying vacation or secondary homes as their primary residence. With the cost of mortgage money in today’s market being so low, a second home payment, is not much more than a luxury automobile monthly payment and is a much sounder investment as well. Second home buyers throughout the Northeast are choosing locations both north and south. Price points for second homes and vacation homes in the Northeast tend to be more expensive than comparable properties in the Southeast in Georgia, The Carolina’s, Florida. For many warmer locations in winter, offer options of seasonal outdoor living for more activity choices. Whether its mountains, lakes, beaches or remote small towns, there are plenty of choices is all regions.

3 Tips for Starting a Home Workout Routine

W

When it comes to the battle of staying fit, Father Time remains a constant opponent. As we get older, it can become more difficult to stay physically fit. The more time we remain inactive, the harder that it can be to get back into the swing of regularly working out. But just like any physical activity, you need to take care when you do this, or you run the risk of injuring yourself or even possibly others. Here are some easy-to-follow tips for adults starting a home workout routine.

health & wealth gratitude

By Josh Gorra

Gratitude, the fundamental basis for leadership

E

veryone wakes up every day, Monday through Friday, focusing on work and how they

are going to help their families move forward. However, I do believe there is a void if all we focus on is making a living and forget that we are actually alive.

Translation, I practice gratitude on a daily basis not because I have to, but because I choose to. Every

day I’m thankful for two experiences that happened the day before and for two people that have made an impact on me. When we view the world through this lens we’re already off to a great start.

56 COASTALHOMELI FE.CO M

N OV EMB ER • D ECEMB ER 2020


“Every morning when you wake up, WHO ARE TWO PEOPLE YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR? They must be different every day to really challenge your mind. At the end of the day, REFLECT & WRITE DOWN TWO EXPERIENCES you were thankful for.” When we train our minds to be thankful for all situations in life versus complaining about what we don’t have, it changes our perspective daily. It also alters our direction both personally and professionally. Consider the ripple effect, when we go to work and we’re thankful for the receptionist answering the phones; thankful for the case managers; grateful for our clients, how does that make you feel? More importantly, how does that make the rest of your organization feel? Many times, we are too busy in our everyday life that we forget to stop and ask team members how we can help. We forget to say, “I appreciate all the work you do for us.” Culture is created, it is not given; therefore, we must lead with intention in our work lives and our personal lives. The best part is, the more we practice this part of our mind the more it becomes a lifestyle. Studies show it takes 21 days to build a habit, but it takes 90 days to create a lifestyle. My mission is to empower as many entrepreneurs as possible to make gratitude a fundamental element to their organization and their families. Try it for seven days, track your experiences in a journal, and tell me how you feel. I would love to hear feedback on any success stories about how we made an impact on ourselves and everyone around us. Every morning when you wake up, who are two people you are thankful for? They must be different every day to really challenge your mind. At the end of the day, reflect & write down two experiences you were thankful for. Let’s lead by example with gratitude! Wish you all health, happiness & success. ­• Josh specializes in coaching people and corporations, and he firmly believes that finding your ‘drive within’ is the motivator to reach your goals.
