Southampton, LI $32 million
Somewhere between the Gilded Age and the Space Age, this oceanfront home actually deserves that tired real-estate descriptor: “really unique.” Owned by the same family for its entire 50-plus-year history and on the market for the first time, this contemporary 2,500-square-foot home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms and an elevated, two-story design that offers “unobstructed” views from the ocean to the bay. But what really earns its eight-figure price tag is the location: Set high in the dunes and “far from public access points” on “some of the most desirable beachfront” — nearly 265 feet of ocean frontage — in an area that’s known for, well, desirable beachfront. The nearly 4 1/2 acres of property also includes “rolling lawns,” space for a pool and “ample room for expansion.” Agents: Laura Nigro and Carl Nigro, Prudential Douglas Elliman, 516-885-4509 and 631-404-8633

Sutton $4.495 million
Designed by famed architect Rosario Candela in the last days before the crash, this 1928 co-op building on East 57th Street is a monument to better times. Inside, you’ll find this lucky “gem” of a home that spans the entire 13th floor with a 10-room layout that includes a south-facing living room with “beautiful” floor-to-ceiling windows and a woodburning fireplace, a formal dining room, a “large” eat-in kitchen, an “oversized” library (with another fireplace) and four bedrooms (including the corner master suite), each with its own bathroom. Given the flexible arrangement of rooms, a fifth or even sixth bedroom is possible. Agent: Heather Sargent, The Corcoran Group, 212-848-0475

Greenwich, Conn.
$5.15 million
In one of Old Greenwich’s “most exclusive” waterfront communities, this “quintessential” 1901 stone-and-shingle Colonial, originally known as “Beach Cottage Number Four,” has been “meticulously renovated and expanded.” It now has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in 4,055 square feet. The house is set on a half-acre behind privet and evergreen hedges, and the property features “enchanting” perennial gardens and “secret walkways” leading to a koi pond and a swimming pool. Meanwhile, the interior’s “sensitively preserved” period architecture has been augmented with “every enhancement for modern living.” Agent: Joann Erb, Round Hill Partners, 203-861-0050
