Upper East Side $7.9 million Your own full floor of a white-glove, prewar co-op overlooking a prime stretch of Park Avenue at 65th Street? In this case, “ideally located” seems to be an apt description. Inside the pad’s 3,900 square feet are four “spacious” bedrooms, three full bathrooms (plus a “beautifully outfitted” powder room), a living room with a woodburning fireplace, an “impressively proportioned” dining room and a wood-paneled library with a wet bar. Separate from the public spaces in the private wing, the “sprawling” corner master suite features three closets and a “luxurious” bathroom with a double vanity and steam shower. There are also two staff rooms that share a full bathroom, a “bonus” room off the kitchen and a laundry room. Agents: Leslie Singer and John Venekamp, Brown Harris Stevens, 212-588-5675 and 212-588-5619

Bronxville, NY $3.975 million Set along Ridge Road, one of the village’s “most desirable locations,” this “custom-built,” Mediterranean-style home wows throughout. The wow factor begins with the entrance, through a “magnificent” stone archway, into the 25-foot-high foyer featuring an “elegant” walnut staircase with a bronze and walnut banister. It continues through all of the mansion’s 4,458 square feet, which includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two half-bathrooms, as well as the “hallmark of the home,” a chef’s kitchen with two dishwashers, two microwaves, three ovens and an adjoining breakfast room. From there, French doors open to a bluestone terrace overlooking an in-ground pool and gardens. Agent: Sheila Stolz, Houlihan Lawrence, 914-337-0400, ext. 497

Lower East Side $4.97 million My, how the Lower East Side’s fortunes have changed.
