Lloyd Harbor, LI $7 million “Incomparable” and “simply spectacular,” this 1820 estate sits on nearly 5 1/2 “secluded” and “bucolic” acres and offers 812 feet of direct waterfront — yep, that’s nearly three football fields’ worth — with a private dock. Many of the original “Federal Period” features are preserved, yet upgrades have brought the home and grounds into the 21st century. Sizeable as this spread may be, it was originally part of “Panfield,” one of the largest estates in the area. Today, you can enjoy the more modest Colonial home, with its mere nine bedrooms and eight-plus bathrooms, or oversee your private parcel from the veranda, patio or in-ground swimming pool, with views out over the harbor. Agent: Donald Morrongiello, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s, 631-692-6770, ext. 283

Greenwich Village $6.4 million Obviously, space is rare in Manhattan — so to get as much as 4,100 square feet in one unit is a coup; to get it all on one floor of a “classic and impressive loft,” well, that’s just “very special and uniquely New York.” This “airy” home in a “gorgeous” prewar co-op building on Broadway features a formal living room, dining room, library and “large” eat-in kitchen; all are “perfect” for “grand” or “more casual entertaining.” The three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms make for comfortable family living — as is, or to your own specifications, thanks to a “floor plate that allows for numerous options.” Agents: Michael Johnson and Hayim Nommaz, The Corcoran Group, 212-937-1693 and 212-539-4970

Yorkville $6.995 million Walk up the original stoop and through the original wrought-iron front door of this East 87th Street townhouse and you indeed will be stepping back more than a century to when this “exquisite” 5,600-square-foot home was built, in 1901. Once inside, you’ll feel like you’re right back in the present thanks to updates such as the “fully outfitted” eat-in kitchen, a master bedroom level with his-and-her bathrooms with a shared sauna and a “glass atrium paradise” with two terraces on top. There are four bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms in the main residence, with another bedroom, office and bathroom on the garden level, which includes its own entrance — meaning you can share all the largesse (and outdoor space) with the right renter.
