2011 The Top Ten Most Romantic Homes
More than any other day of the year, February 14th is a day of love and beauty. It is when millions of Americans slow down and take a moment to share their love showering one another with gifts of flowers, candy and jewels.
It is a time for romantic restaurants, love songs and carriage rides. And since home is where the heart is, the old adage of real estate agents and businesses alike rings true, location, location, location. So for your pleasure we have compiled our second annual list of ten of the most romantic cities and homes for Valentine's Day 2011.
Here you will find a Lake Tahoe castle with floral coated walls, Tiffany-style stained glass domes, Gothic arches, ponds, graceful fountains and a waterfall embellished with playful bronze dolphins.
Wildflower hikes in springtime to breathtaking waterfalls, magical sunsets and gondola rides are high on the list of romantic things to do in Lake Tahoe.
We have the sad love story of the Patrick O’Donnell estate in Charleston, South Carolina. Patrick wanted to build the most beautiful house in the city for his bride to be but according to legend, the home took so long to build that his much-loved fiancé married someone else.
Today's Charleston romantics can find love in a city of grand homes, pirate legends and Revolutionary War history in a rickshaw or horse drawn carriage in the town that Conde Nast Traveler's ranked as the second best city to visit in the country.
And don't overlook The Motor City as a city to find exquisite homes and more opportunities. Here we find a Gatsby-era, gated estate on the island of Grosse Ile, Michigan overlooking the historic Detroit River that has entertained heads of state and business alike.
Tour the priceless collections of The Detroit Institute of Arts, enjoy a show at the historic Fox Theater, or hit the casinos for a bit of Valentine's Day fun.
