Town home living has never been more popular than it is today. Boasting minimal upkeep, a town home is conjoined to another by a common wall and often includes an outdoor patio. The first floor is ground-level, hence the French moniker pied-à-terre (literally “foot on earth”). Empty nesters, executives on the go, and country-estate owners who literally need a “home in town” are, among others, candidates today for this breezier life style. Join Edith Wharton, William Shakespeare, and countless Washington power brokers, who all enjoyed town home living.
