Lucky Finds: Homes That Feel Like Striking Gold

By Sarah Burris


Not all lucky finds come with four leaves. Some are tucked behind ivy-covered walls, others look like a private pool in Manhattan, a soundproof studio in the sky, or even a home with its own boathouse. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we rounded up a handful of homes that feel like true discoveries. The kind you don’t expect to find, but once you do, you’ll feel like you struck gold.

203 Prince Street


Tucked behind the townhouse, this lush garden feels like a hidden world in the middle of SoHo. It’s the kind of space you’d never expect to find, made even more special by the history behind it, once part of the estate of former Vice President Aaron Burr.

401-645 Lake Delaware Drive


Set along a 68-acre lake in the Catskill Mountains, this historic boathouse feels like something out of another era. It’s a rare kind of find, bringing together quiet beauty, history, and a sense of escape that’s hard to come by.

50 Riverside Boulevard #21A


A private pool in Manhattan isn’t something you come across often. Set high above the Hudson River, this one feels like an unexpected luxury that completely changes what city living can look like.

17121 Collins Ave #4803


A soundproof studio and party room isn’t something you expect to find, especially one complete with its own bar. Set high above the ocean, it’s the kind of feature that makes this home feel like a great night out without ever leaving.

25 Columbus Circle #7273B


A private sauna tucked into a Manhattan bathroom isn’t exactly typical. It’s a standout feature that brings a more relaxed, spa-like feel to city living.

10225 Coral Creek Rd


Like something out of a storybook, this Coral Gables estate nestled within a canopy of ancient oaks feels like something you weren’t quite meant to find. From the secret grotto to winding walkways leading to a surprising pond, it has a rare, almost magical quality.
