NEW YORK

$7.995M, 172 Pacific St., Brooklyn

Corcoran
It sounds like something out of “Ghostbusters” — a forgotten 1840s firehouse transforms into “rare and mythical” real estate. But this three-loft-level Cobble Hill townhouse, “featured in many famous films over the years,” is yours for the haunting. In its current form, it’s configured into a two-unit building, but with some “minor adjustments” — alakazam! — it’s your new “grand home” with four to six bedrooms. The main floor alone is a generous 2,125 square feet. Then there’s the “drama” of massive exposed wood beams, arched windows, 12-inch-wide wood-plank floors, double height ceilings, “oversized” skylights and a “charming” greenhouse. Who you gonna call? Corcoran!

All you Queen Anne fanboys and girls out there are going to love this six-story townhouse tricked out in her grace’s style. Fittingly, like its namesake, it’s not at all petite, clocking in at 22 feet wide, with 10,745 square feet of indoor space. There’s a similarly large 60-foot-long indoor pool, four-passenger elevator, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, gym and a “multi-level” home theater. Totaling nearly 1,000 square feet on CPW between 84th and 85th Streets, the building’s so big and beautiful its very developer, William Noble, couldn’t bear to part ways with it, deciding instead to call it home.

Have you heard the good news? “You don’t have to be a famous art collector to live like one.” Or so this two-bedroom, three-bathroom SoHo “dream loft” should have us believe. Here’s how: Recently gutted, it was rebuilt to mint status by a prominent art dealer. Now, thanks to input from gallery-specializing architect Todd Ernst, the 4,000-square-foot space is “flexible,” with floor-to-ceiling velvet draperies that “open and close at the touch of a button.” The main spaces are drenched with sunlight “craved by artists everywhere,” and there’s a mezzanine reached by transparent glass bridge. Plus, like any good art lover, there’s a 600-bottle wine storage unit.

Cheaper by the dozen? Not at this 12-room Upper East duplex from “renowned” architect Rosario Candela. But what that nearly $20 mil does get you is 100 feet of “Park Avenue frontage,” a “sweeping” gallery opening onto a “sprawling” living room — with a fireplace and three “large” windows — a “vast” chef’s kitchen, “soaring” ceilings, five bedrooms and a dining room with a fireplace, “ornate” ceiling and a large, no-bulls-allowed china closet. The master bath is a marble lover’s oasis. You’ll confidently slink into the tub knowing you live in “one of the most distinctive buildings on Park Avenue.”

Don’t be alarmed, but the folks repping this “massive” TriBeCa residence have been watching you in your sleep. How else could they have known, “you’ve dreamed it, now create it!” By “it” they mean combining the current three units on the 10th floor of “boutique” One York Street into your own custom, 5,350-square-foot “luxury residence” — with an assist from “sought-after” designer Thomas Juul-Hansen (hisfees not included). You’ll enjoy “walls of windows,” with “city views to die for”; and the building has a fully automated Swiss-engineered garage and a 28-foot-long pool, too!

From cable companies to collegiate sports conferences, consolidation is all the rage. NYC real estate is no different. Here, you have an “opportunity” to combine two full-floor units into a 6,559-square-foot TriBeCa palace, with three exposures, five bedrooms and five private outdoor spaces. Outside on the giant 18-by-41-foot terrace, you’ll notice the Hudson River. Inside you’ll “immediately” notice 11-foot ceilings and “brilliant” light torpedoing through floor-to-ceiling Schüco windows. Hug a tree while you’re at it, because “beautiful” custom oak hardwood floors and ceiling treatments enliven the upper level living room, dining area and home office. If you have any CPA nerds in the fam, they’ll be pleased to know this place has a 421-A tax abatement with several years to go.

In true fortune-cookie style, a “rare and unique opportunity exists” at this 2,110-square-foot Upper West Sider — to combine apartment 7E with 7F. That merger would result in a five-bedroom, 6¹/₂-bathroom Siamese twin of a condo, offering up a total of 3,847 square feet to play in. Just another day inside the luxe laureate building on 76th St. off Broadway. Ceilings are 10 feet high throughout, and there’s a Crestron smart home tech system, a bespoke kitchen and two Juliet balconies (if you’re double the Romeo).

If only this New Museum Building’s 7,452-square-foot unit weren’t so sheepish. It modestly describes itself as “the most exceptional duplex penthouse downtown.” It has a “grandly scaled” great room. The master bedroom has “rare” arched windows and a “sensational” walk-in closet. There’s a spare bedroom that makes for the “perfect” nanny’s quarters. A staircase ascends you to this “magical property’s” upper level with three “immaculately landscaped” terraces with “exposures [without] equal.” Someone get this listing a self-esteem coach, stat!

If you didn’t convert to Ultra-Orthodox Solar Worship after that brutal winter, then this listing isn’t for you, heathen! Originally conceived as a “temple in the dunes,” this “cutting-edge” five-bedroom, 6¹/₂-bathroom home “was conceived as a place to worship the sun.” Our smiley faced star is not a jealous god, however — feel free to worship other niceties around the 4.7-acre estate, like multiple entertaining areas including “a game room, media room and glass-walled interior swimming pool.” But back to that sun: outside you have multiple decks and an ocean-side heated pool. White-sand dunes be thy pews.

FLORIDA

$12.3M, Palm Beach

In 1888, Clarence Mack was born in Cleveland. He then made it his life’s mission to live anywhere else: first in Europe to study Renaissance architecture, then in Florida to put his degree to good use. His “stunning lakefront,” Regency-style, six-bedroom estate is proof he should’ve graduated with honors, with the “enormous” entry courtyard, 70-foot pool, 118 feet of Intracoastal frontage, a dock and “expansive” master suite.

Goihman Group of Douglas Elliman
With its front courtyard that looks like a giant chessboard, you’ll feel less like a pawn and more like a castling king at this “masterpiece” of a waterfront residence. On the inside there are moon-tickling 30-foot ceilings, eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a grand staircase and a “hand-carved onyx fireplace.” Those fresco ceilings come courtesy of a “European artist.” Outside, it isn’t any slouchier: there’s a pool and Jacuzzi.
