The coast of Oregon is often overlooked when it comes to seaside homes. Sure, it’s chilly and you’ll face your fair share of winter storms, but the land here’s beautiful and the air is clean. Today’s home was built in the early 1990s and has eight bedrooms and over 10,000 square feet on a 45-acre plot of land that includes a horse barn and a separate apartment area. It definitely seems to be a home built to the owner’s taste and specifications but it does make good use of the ocean views and it has a casual charm. But the finishes seem a bit too generic for me. I’ve never quite understood why someone would create in a multimillion dollar home and then skimp on the interior. This place could use more furniture, and some upgrades in order to help it reach its full potential. But that office perched on top of a tower for the best possible ocean views, is a stunner. It is listed at $5.9 million.

Today’s home is another of Rhode Island’s famous summer cottages. The J.B. Lippincott Home in Jamestown, Rhode Island was originally known as Meeresblick and was built in1892-93 for J.B. Lippincott, son of the founder and later president of the J.B. Lippincott Co. publishing firm. After Lippincott’s death in 1940 the home went to his daughter and her descendants still own the home. The shingled home sits on a waterfront parcel on Mackerel Cove and has charming fieldstone details. Inside the allure comes from the original woodwork, and beautiful glass windows and brick fireplaces. Unfortunately we don’t get any of the all-important kitchen and lavatory shots with this listing so some updates might be necessary. it is listed at $4.9 million.
