Brighton Beach, Brooklyn $4.599 million You often hear about the great views from New York penthouses, but it’s not often that they include the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. This 4,134-square-foot, “designer’s own” duplex condo on Ocean Parkway — which also boasts 2,154 square feet of terraces — has those bridge vistas, as well as “incredible” views of the Atlantic Ocean and Midtown Manhattan. There are five bedrooms, along with five en-suite bathrooms, plus entertaining rooms with 20-foot ceilings. Bells and whistles include four-zone climate control, radiant-heat floors, soundproofing between all rooms, video-monitoring and a built-in home theater. Plus, you get two parking spaces in the full-service building. Agent: Victoria Shtainer, Prudential Douglas Elliman, 212-891-7242

Chelsea $5.45 million What does it say about Manhattan real estate that even when it comes to a “spectacular” and “expansive” 4,000-plus-square-foot condo like this one on West 17th Street, one of the true highlights is “its very own private parking space”? As for the prewar residence itself, it features a “loft-like” layout, “soaring” 14-foot beamed ceilings, two “huge” living rooms with “floor-to-ceiling” windows and a private terrace. Also nice: the “separation and privacy” between the living areas and four en-suite bedrooms. Agents: Paul Kolbusz and Sara Gelbard, The Corcoran Group, 212-500-7026 and 212-242-9941

Mill Neck, LI $15.5 million Why settle for an estate, when you can command your own “compound”? This “incomparable” waterfront property occupies approximately 10 acres of prime Gold Coast along Long Island Sound and features a 14,724-square-foot mansion that was “completely redone” in 2007 with the “finest European craftsmanship and materials.” Besides seven bedrooms, with nine full and three half-bathrooms, the home’s three levels include a mix of both large and cozier entertaining rooms. Outside, there’s a 60-foot-long heated Gunite pool, a poolhouse (with its own kitchen) and a guest house that, with 3,000 square feet, four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, is a big home unto itself. Agent: Barbara Candee, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s, 516-759-4800, ext. 136
