New York’s Art Scene Called to Her. Which Home Did She Choose?

Angelina Jolie’s L.A. Estate: The actress got $250,000 more than what she had paid. Also, Larry Ellison, John McEnroe and Little Steven are selling their homes.

Living Small: Evan Levy realized he could build an accessory dwelling unit within his budget of $50,000 if he did much of the work himself.

On Location: An architect laid bare the imperfections of his townhouse renovation in Arzignano, Italy, to fully reveal the building and leave room for later inspiration.

Renters: Nadia and Sabela Ralston settled into a Brooklyn two-bedroom last year and have largely mastered the sibling dynamics.

Ask a Design Obsessive: How do I decorate a big concrete wall?

How Old Will I Be Before I Own a Home?: Expect to stop renting by your late 30s (but don’t expect to live in Los Angeles or New York).

D.I.Y.: Cosmetic restoration of your floorboards takes only a few simple tools and materials.
