Miami Beach $5.15 million
What makes owning this condo such a “rare opportunity” is that beyond the “luxury” of a Philippe Starck-designed home, plus sun and fun directly on Biscayne Bay, it’s a great “family” residence. The “spectacular” combined unit at Icon South Beach offers two master suites — out of a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms — as well as a spacious living room, den and “grand professional” kitchen. All of it has been arranged in a “uniquely designed,” “flow-through” floor plan (with stone floors throughout) that takes maximum advantage of the “dramatic” views offered from the multiple terraces, north to south. The “residential enclave tower” includes 24-hour valets, a fitness center, spa, café, media room, tennis court, pool and conference rooms. Oh — and two assigned parking spaces just for you. Agent: Giorgio Vecchi, Zilbert International Realty, 305-726-0100

Turtle Bay $3.999 million
In Manhattan real estate, it really is about location (what street?), location (how high above that street?), location (just how much “location” in square feet are we talking about?). This condo spread appears to meet all three of those criteria. The East 49th Street address is just a couple blocks over from the commercial bustle of Madison Avenue and the commuter hub of Grand Central; at 23 stories up, it offers “sweeping city and river views” through “floor-to-ceiling windows”; and at 2,086 square feet, there’s space enough for three bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and a massive, curved library/dining room/living room space. Oh, and one other thing about location: A fitness center, rooftop terrace and extra storage are all right in the building. Agents: Tal Alexander and Sean McPeak, Douglas Elliman, 212-350-8541 and 212-350-8500

Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn $3.695 million
Whether you want to be a profitable landlord or simply the lord (master?) of your own domain, this multi-family townhouse on Summit Street should satisfy your longings. Though its four floors are currently arranged as a four-unit building with a total of four bedrooms and four bathrooms (and four “high-income”-generating, month-to-month tenants), the “turn-of-the-century jewel” offers an opportunity to create a 5,000-square-foot mansion for one family (yours). And if you do live here, whether or not you keep it all for yourself, may we suggest holding onto the top floor — from which a spiral staircase leads to a roof deck with a “stunning, 360-degree view of the NYC skyline.” Agent: Alex Calabretta, Douglas Elliman, 917-838-4140
