Chelsea $3.995 million It’s “classic,” it’s “historic,” and best of all, this prewar co-op loft occupies an entire floor, “high atop” a West 26th Street building. The “vast, sprawling” floor plan complements the 11-plus-foot ceilings and two dozen “oversized” windows. Designed by architect Bill Georgis, it features side-by-side living and dining rooms that can serve as one entertaining space spanning the width of the loft. Likewise, the “tremendous,” open kitchen leads to the “well-planned” media room and a “big” den — all “flexible” spaces for “work” or “play.” The bedrooms — four “grandly scaled” retreats — include a separate corner master suite “worthy of the name.” Agent: Brian Lewis, Halstead Property, 212-381-2252

Gramercy Park $10.8 million One of the perks of living alongside Gramercy Park, of course, is keyed access to the exclusive park itself. But not every home also allows you to survey your domain like this 10th-floor Gramercy Park North condop with “direct southern views” of the park and beyond. Nor do most offer “hotel amenities” — housekeeping, room service, valet service, personal shopping and even “butler service” — that you’ll find at this Ian Schrager building. In fact, you might never need to leave this 3,066-square-foot, three-bedroom, four-bathroom home, which also features an art gallery, formal dining room, open chef’s kitchen and library. And considering the master bedroom includes a 412-square-foot planted terrace, you won’t even have to go downstairs to enjoy a bit of green. Agents: Wassim Serhan and Joe Di Condina, Town Residential, 646-588-4025 and 646-588-4012

Carnegie Hill $3.75 million This “completely restored” three-bedroom, three-bathroom co-op in a “magnificent landmark building” on East 87th Street features a renovated, windowed kitchen with new marble counters and high-end appliances, new central HVAC and a built-in surround-sound system. And then there’s all those prewar elements that aren’t new but just get better with age — like the original herringbone floors and decorative fireplaces in the formal living room and in the master suite. Another classic touch: the French doors opening to the Juliet balcony. And the location, “steps” from Central Park, needed no improvement. Agent: Tim Cass, The Corcoran Group, 212-500-7025
