The thermometer is taking its time this year to hit 70, but that hasn't stopped me from planning summer outdoor spaces for my current design projects. I've also noticed around this time every year, the second home market becomes a lot more appealing to people who are planning to escape for the summer. Whether you dream of a beautiful lake house, a beach house, or a house in the mountains, a second vacation home can be a worthwhile investment and a place for your family to reconnect. We've been privileged over the years to design several very beautiful second homes for our clients. If you're anything like me and dare to dream of an escape for your family, you'll probably love this "Best Properties On The Market" column I like to follow in The Week. The column rounds up current homes on the market in various niches. Some are by location. Some are by features. Here are a few recent properties that would make great vacation homes:
