Greenwich Village $29.5 million This Greek-revival-style townhouse on West 10th Street was originally built in 1844 and a mere century-and-a-half later still “exemplifies the elegance and refinement” one expects on the “Gold Coast.” The “triple-mint” house’s four floors — don’t worry, there’s an elevator — includes seven bedrooms and seven-plus bathrooms (with a master suite occupying the entire second floor), while the garden level offers a “chef’s kitchen” and an “informal family suite” with a “large living/dining room” is up on the fourth level. Underneath it all is a “fully finished” cellar with a gym, steam shower and sauna, and atop it all is a roof deck with a study and meditation room. Agents: Sara Gelbard and Paul Kolbusz, The Corcoran Group, 212-242-9941 and 212-500-7026

Sarasota, Fla. $5.495 million Why get a beach house when you can have more space — some 6,066 square feet inside and another 1,804 square feet of terraces — in this penthouse condo looking out over Sarasota Bay and with “sunset views” of the Gulf of Mexico. The “opulent” design features chandeliers in the “grand salon,” lighted, stained-glass columns and a paneled bar (“inspired by the Ritz Club bar in London”) with a 550-plus-bottle adjoining wine cellar. The entertaining opportunities continue out on the terraces (four of ’em), which feature such amenities as a “summer kitchen,” a canopied lounge and even a “small dog run.” Among the three bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms is the master suite — with not just his-and-her bathrooms, dressing rooms and closets but also his-and-her offices. And the unit comes with a 65-foot boat dock when you want to get away from it all. Agent: Peg Davant, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, 941-356-4552

SoHo $8.495 million It’s one thing to find space, but this “luxury condo loft” in the New Museum Building on Mercer Street offers 4,200 square feet plus the “sophistication” to go with it — from the 50-foot-wide “entertaining expanse” to the “restaurant-quality” kitchen (with temperature-controlled wine storage) to a master suite “fit for royalty.” There are also two additional bedrooms, plus a home office and a separate laundry room (plus 2 1/2 bathrooms). All of it is linked together by a custom Crestron audio-visual system that allows fingertip control of the lights, music and shades on the “mahogany-framed” windows. Agent: Richard Orenstein, Halstead Property, 212-381-4248
