Inside Designer Nicholas Lewin’s Timeless Nova Scotia Home

Residential designer Nicholas Lewin of Spencer Lewin Inc. takes us inside his home in Chester, Nova Scotia, a sailing paradise known for its beautiful architecture and shorelines. Inspired by vernacular architecture, Nicholas favours timeless design. “I don’t like it when ego intrudes into architecture and things look dated in 10 years,” he says. On his quirky lot, two connected buildings work together: the 600-square-foot main house has an open-concept kitchen and living space, designed around how people actually live. “Being able to witness the chef in the kitchen is critical,” he says.

Bidding wars for Long Island homes are so brutal, even all-cash buyers are getting burned

Frank DiMaio had the cash, a signed contract and $230,000 sitting in escrow. He still lost the house he wanted to buy. The orthopedic surgeon, who recently hung up his scalpel after four decades, spent much of this year trying to swap the Old Brookville estate he and his wife have called home for about 25 years for something smaller on Long Island’s North Shore. Instead, the couple got a front-row seat to the most cutthroat housing scrum in the country. “I’ve never experienced anything like this,” DiMaio told The Post. Long Island has become the hardest place in America to buy a home, with Redfin repeatedly ranking Nassau and Suffolk counties as the nation’s strongest seller’s market even as most big metros tilt toward buyers. Bloomberg via Getty Images He’s got plenty of company. Redfin has crowned Nassau and Suffolk counties the strongest seller’s market in America again and again, most recently clocking roughly 36% fewer sellers than buyers. Across most of the country, the pendulum has swung the other way, with 39 of the nation’s 50 biggest metros now favoring house hunters. On Long Island , nobody seems to have gotten the memo. The DiMaios thought they’d scored
