Water Mill, LI $39.5 million Consider that “your own private island” is not the biggest selling point of this estate, and you’ll begin to understand what’s in store for you in “the most spectacular residence” on Mecox Bay. Yes, there’s that island, which you can overlook from your 365-foot stretch of private beach or the dock that accommodates “multiple watercraft.” Or just enjoy the view from any one of the number of outdoor spaces on the 2.3 acres that surround the 15,000-square-foot gambrel home. Or focus inward — to the double-height foyer, great room, 10-seat theater, wet bar, walk-in wine cellar, home gym and temperature-controlled fur vault, or lounge in one of the seven bedrooms, including the “duplex master wing.” Agent: Gary DePersia, The Corcoran Group, 631-899-0215

Rye, NY $5.795 million This “stately” Georgian Colonial “raises the bar for quality and luxury” (and we’re not just talking about the wet bar off the living room). The 12,225-square-foot Westchester home, set on 2 acres at the end of a private cul-de-sac, opens impressively: split spiral staircases rising from the dramatic entry gallery. The vaulted ceilings continue into the great room, with a fireplace and the “showpiece” of a kitchen. The home, built in 2009, offers “beauty and craftsmanship in every corner,” from the public rooms into the seven bedrooms and seven-plus bathrooms, as well as out onto the patio overlooking the expansive lawn. Agent: Susy Glasgall, Houlihan Lawrence, 914-649-0850

Nolita $15.8 million Since the average American home is 2,700 square feet, it’s already an understatement to call this 4,472-square-foot condo penthouse in the full-service One Kenmare Square boutique building, on Lafayette Street, “impressive.” And that’s barely the half of it — there’s an additional 4,031 square feet of private outdoor space. In fact, you get two connected apartments, with a total of five bedrooms and four full and two half-bathrooms. This also means there are two “chef’s” kitchens and two staircases that lead up to the “expansive” planted rooftop terrace, as well as two smaller terraces off the living areas. And inside and out, there are “dramatic” views of lower Manhattan and the Williamsburg Bridge. Agent: Kyle Blackmon, Brown Harris Stevens, 212-588-5648
