Greenwich Village
$6.25 million
When you think of living grandly in the Village, you probably envision owning a townhouse. But sometimes a penthouse duplex on lower Fifth Avenue is a good choice, too. The prewar co-op begins with a “gracious” foyer that leads into a “grand, ballroom-size living room” with 18-foot-high ceilings and a woodburning fireplace. Beyond is a private, nearly 400-square-foot terrace with “spectacular” views of the Manhattan skyline. There are two bedrooms and a study/third bedroom upstairs, plus three full bathrooms and a half-bath. Agent: Janet Weiner, Halstead Property, 212-381-6558
Mill Basin, Brooklyn
$30 million
This multimillion-dollar waterfront “compound” looks like something you’d find on Long Island. In fact, the property is in Brooklyn, on Jamaica Bay: Two separate houses totaling more than 23,000 square feet, with seven master bedroom suites, 14 full bathrooms, four kitchens and five staff rooms and indoor parking for seven cars. It’s all situated on a huge outdoor expanse with “luxurious, outdoor planted walkways and gardens,” a 1,000-square-foot pool and spa, an outdoor pavilion with seating for 40, plus 257 feet of direct waterside frontage and a three-boat marina.

Upper West Side
$12.5 million
This co-op building on Riverside Drive was built in 1951, but this 5,200-square-foot penthouse is brand new! Constructed atop of the building by its current owners, the two-level home — three levels, if you count the 2,000-plus-square-foot rooftop terrace with its own fireplace, powder room and food-prep area — took more four years to complete, and you can be the first to live in it. There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and each level includes terraces of its own, including the outdoor barbecue area off the living room and dining room.
