A property listing says it, so it must be true: "some people" say that Twin Silo Farm is "perhaps the most beautiful property in Bucks County. Could those people be interior decorator Andrew Hartnagle andretired investment banker Wayne Stork, who bought the much-added-to circa-1710 stone farmhouse for $4.1M back in 1988, and have since elevated it to the ornately appointed state it's pictured in today? If so, it'd be hard to begrudge them a bit of pride in their baby. Even leaving the residence aside, the 100-acre grounds alone are gorgeous enough to command a $20 price of admission (with all proceeds going to something called Bucks Beautiful Bulbs). To wit, said grounds, which were part of the original William Penn Land Grant, contain a "resort-style heated pool," a "spa," a "privately situated tennis court," a "tranquil pond of more than 2 acres," a "small scale barn," "ample green space for grazing animals," an "entertainment pavilion with reflecting pond," and the pice de rsistance, a "whimsical full-scale hedge maze." An impressive hunk of green, to be sure, but can it earn this estate a $10.5M ask?

The 6,756-square-foot, six-bedroom fieldstone home is named after the two stone silos added on to it back in 1781. Only the "highest quality materials and finishes" have been used therein, and according to the listing, what this amounts to inside is a "cozy English sensibility." But anyway, to the lawn:

The bitch is back...and on the prowl! After three seasons away from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, former series star Dina Manzo is back with a vengeance in season sixand Us Weekly has an early look at what kind of drama awaits her over the next few months.

As seen in this exclusive footage from the Bravo show, Manzo will try her hand at dating following her separation from her husbandin February 2013. The two were married for seven years, so the Project Ladybug founder, 41, has been out of the game for quite some time.

"When I pictured myself 40-something, this was not what I was expecting," she confesses. "The last time I had to get naked in front of a guy, I was 28 years old...There's definitely anxiety around that."

There's also some nervousness around her daughter Lexi's departure for college. (Lexi, 17, is Manzo's child from her first marriage.) "It's the end of an era as a mom," she says. "Now I just have to worry about my f---ed-up pets."

Manzo's RHONJ comeback follows the departure of her estranged sister, Caroline, who left the series after five seasons last October. Announcing her return in previews for upcoming episodes, the interior decorator says cheekily, "The bitch is back, and if you don't like it, you can kiss my ass."

It was designed with a retro 1970s theme by the interior decorator and principal of The One Academy, Dr Eric Leong.

It caters to people who are looking for "gems" from the recent past and those who are curious about what was considered fashionable back then.

Managing director of Hunza Group, the owner of the mall, Khor Siang Gin said it was aimed at helping small-time entrepreneurs to set up businesses.

He said young entrepreneurs could use it as a platform to start their own businesses.

"We also want to promote Penang and let more international tourists know about Penang and the trends that were popular in the recent past," he said at the launch.

Khor said there would be a Retro Saturday event every week from 2pm to 10pm, with 30 traders selling collectibles, fashion accessories, handicraft and other rare items that would be of interest to collectors.

He said there would also be lots of activities for children.

"We intend to promote this spot as a one-stop centre for tourists looking for specific items found only here," he added.

Also present were state Tourism Development and Culture Committee chairman Danny Law Heng Kiang and Hunza Properties founder Datuk Khor Teng Tong.

Frances W. Riepe, a former interior decorator who had been a trustee of Ladew Topiary Gardens, died May 16 of congestive heart failure at her home in the Brightwood retirement community in Lutherville. She was 91.

The daughter of Francis Asbury Warner Jr., founder of the Warner-Graham Co., and Elsie McGee Warner, a homemaker, the former Frances Warner was born in Baltimore and raised on Hollen Road in Cedarcroft.

She attended Bryn Mawr School and graduated in 1941 from the Knox School in Cooperstown, N.Y.

In 1946, she married George Mitchell Stump Riepe, who later became president of the Warner-Graham Co.

Mrs. Riepe earned a certificate in 1964 from the New York School of Interior Design and owned and operated an interior decorating firm from her Guilford home. She was still working in interior design well into the 1980s, family members said.

"Mom had a great sense of style and an eye for design in just about all things clothing, interiors, gardens and landscapes. She always looked New York-sharp," said her daughter, Kathryn Riepe "Kate" Chambers of the Woodbrook neighborhood of Baltimore County.

"She loved Paris and anything French. She was arranging cut daffodils and issuing orders about placement of furniture right up until a week before she died," said Ms. Chambers. "Having a hospital bed in her lovely bedroom really ticked her off."

"She was a stay-at-home mom, but she was fully engaged in her interests out of the home," said a son, Frank W. Riepe of Sudbury, Mass.

Mrs. Riepe founded the Woodland Garden Club, which is associated with the Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland. She also had been chairwoman of the Maryland House and Garden Pilgrimage.

She had been a member of the Women's Committee at the Baltimore Museum of Art and had chaired their antique show.

Seascape an oceanfront house that won its architect the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beachs 2011 Schuler Award has sold for $16.25 million, the price recorded with the deed.

Bryan Cressey and his wife, Christina, bought the South End house, which was built in 2010 at 2315 S. Ocean Blvd., according to documents recorded Wednesday by the Palm Beach County Clerks office. The British Colonial-style residence has five bedrooms and 21,148 square feet of living space, inside and out.

Bryan Cressey heads Cressey & Co., a private-equity firm with offices in Chicago and Nashville, Tenn., that specializes in health-care investments. He and his wife, known as Christy, live in Barrington Hills outside Chicago and own no other property in the Palm Beach County in their names, records show.

Seller Donna Ward is an interior decorator and art historian who oversaw the construction and furnishing of the two-story house. She has supervised the construction and renovation of a number of homes she has shared with her husband, international investment banker Rodney Ward. Their primary residence is in London.

The property was listed for sale in November at $22.5 million by broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates. Neither he nor Ward could be reached for comment.

The house stands on a narrow lot measuring 1.8 acres, a bit north of the Par 3 Golf Course. The property was once the site of the Sea Lord Hotel.

The Cresseys were familiar with the house before they bought it. We used it for the winter, and when Donna Ward decided to sell it, we decided to buy, said Bryan Cressey, who spends some of the winter season riding in Wellington, where the couple stables horses.

The setting is enchanting, he added. We found the home just captivatingly beautiful.

Wonderful for parties

Architect Daniel Kahan of Smith and Moore Architects designed the house in close collaboration with Donna Ward. Three years ago, he was presented with the Elizabeth L. and John H. Schuler Award from the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach for the design. The annual award recognizes excellence in new construction projects that reflect the towns architectural character, according to the foundation.

HAVEN'T BEEN to the San Francisco Decorator Showcase yet? There are at least three good reasons to go.

You can wander through House Beautiful magazine's Kitchen of the Year, experience the design work of eight Marin experts up close and tour 30 interior and exterior spaces containing plenty of inspirational ideas.

The Showcase House this year is a four-story brick mansion with six bedrooms spread out over 8,820 square feet, set on a third of an acre overlooking the Presidio and San Francisco Bay. It was built in 1908 for Alfred Sutro's family.

Here is a look at the work of the Marin participants.

"I always want people to have an aha moment, so as you come up the stairs from the Grand Entrance, I think you are surprised by this (rough-edged bronze alphabet collection) by Martin Bialas," says Ray of Five Senses Art Consultancy in San Rafael.

"The installation and concept is thoroughly contemporary and chic," she says. "It can be comfortable in a traditional home or contemporary home, or in a garden. It is extremely versatile."
