150 COLUMBUS AVE.: $29 Million
Wearing sunglasses indoors never felt so right! That great wall of glass giving the living room a light bath is the centerpiece of this 5,500-square-foot, five-bedroom, 6½-bathroom penthouse. Other spots to soak up the rays: the setback terrace, the “loggia,” the den/sunroom. Enjoy. Agents: Deborah Grubman and David Dubin, The Corcoran Group, 212-836-1055 and 212-605-9287

861 CARROLL ST., PARK SLOPE: $4.198 Million
Steps from Prospect Park, this townhouse is all about the details: a “beautiful” mantel in the dining room, a grand staircase, a stained-glass skylight. The first-floor kitchen opens up onto a garden (a one-bedroom unit on this level can be used as a rental). Floor two is a grand living/eating space, and you’ll find four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the third and fourth floors.

232 E. 63RD ST.: $22 Million
Whether you enter this six-story, 11,400-square-foot townhouse’s garden level through the bronze front doors or the garage, there’s a marble-floored foyer with Corinthian columns and a library that screams erudition. Next, it’s up, via elevator or stairs, to floor two, a k a, the parlor floor. Out with the marble, in with the Brazilian herringbone flooring that leads you to a custom kitchen. Master suite? That’d be on floor three, and in it is a Duravit soaking tub, his-and-hers dressing rooms and more marble. Floor four is bathroom central: two bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms and another bathroom hiding in the multipurpose room. The fifth floor is where your id will shack up: There’s a 10-seat movie theater, a wet bar and a billiards and cigar room, plus another marble bath to remind you of your manners. All it needs is a Jacuzzi — oh wait, there’s one in the basement! Cap it all off with the roof-deck level, where you can enjoy skyline views and grill steaks while standing on top of it all. Agents: Leighton Candler and Pamela Marcus, The Corcoran Group, 212-937-6677 and 212-508-7168

845 UN PLAZA: $13.445 Million
Wanna get mixed up in a high-stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue? Trump World Tower is where elite living meets the global stage at 845 UN Plaza. Inside this spread, overlooking the UN’s wheelings and dealings across the street, you get a combined two floors, with ceilings no less than a dozen feet high, six bedrooms and eight marble bathrooms in its 5,600 square feet. Of course, Trump being Trump, the building itself is no schlub: a private health spa, a 60-foot indoor pool, an on-site Megu serving up some fine Japan-eats, a private wine cellar. Basically, you’ll lose all use for the outside world. Agent: Debra Stotts, Town Residential, 646-300-6052

44 W. 77TH ST.: $17.5 Million
“Absolutely one of a kind,” the listing boasts. “There is no other property like this in New York City.” “You cannot replicate it.” OK . . . but is it unique? This Upper West Side artist’s loft-turned-three-bedroom (with an option for four) has lots of self-imposed hype to live up to, so here’s what makes these co-op digs so dang special: a double-height living room (an erstwhile sculpting studio); floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the Museum of Natural History; a 400-year-old Iberian fireplace (you know how cold it gets in Portugal, brrr); and “light-infused” spaces “ideal to showcase . . . Picasso and Dalí . . . Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.” Hey, you just shelled out more than 17 million clams, hang up a Dilbert calendar if you so desire. He’s one of a kind, too.

60 BROADWAY, WILLIAMSBURG: $4.75 Million
Does it get any more hipster than living in a “loft-like” penthouse? Perched atop Williamsburg’s Gretsch Building, the 3,200-square-foot pad has a wet bar, walls (plural) of glass and an irrigation system-equipped wraparound terrace. Then there’s the Australian jarrah wood floors (ooh, stripey), marble bathrooms, high ceilings and a no-joke security system. Yet, it has one thing no equivalent outside-Williamsburg penthouse can claim, just in case you doubt its street cred: proximity to Peter Luger and Dressler. Agents: Pablo Cuevas and Michal Kuras, Douglas Elliman, 718-486-4492 and 718-486-4401

126 W. 87TH ST.: $8.8 Million
What a brick tease! This 5,500-square-foot brownstone has been in existence since 1888 — 125 years ago — but never put on the market. That is . . . until now. The very definition of wealthy modesty, you now can have your six bedrooms, 4½ bathrooms, butler’s pantry, garden-opening-upon kitchen, library, fancy woodwork as far as the eye can see and his-and-hers sinks (in cute-ified blue and pink, respectively). The upstairs is definitely on light-flood alert thanks to an 18-foot skylight. And the penthouse terraces are so nice, they built them twice: a dining-ready one in front, a garden-ready one in back.

BRIDGEHAMPTON: $16.5 Million
When your day is spent enduring the concrete jungle and all its many horrors, coming home to the beach — well, that’s a beautiful thing. Beauty doesn’t come cheap, obviously, but you can see why. Sitting on 1.9 acres of sandy Hamptons bliss, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom, 3,800-square-foot mansion at 143 Mid Ocean Dr. enjoys 160 feet of oceanfront, best seen from the Jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom. Sunbathers head to the southern deck, shade-seekers to the northern one. And the sunny dining room offers views of either the temperamental Atlantic, or the more placid Mecox Bay. It’s going to be difficult making yourself return to the city after weekends here. Agents: Alyssa Giruzzi and F. Patricia Garrity, The Corcoran Group, 631-283-7300 and 631-702-9221
