West Village $6.495 million If you and a friend each have about $3.25 million, then this “delightful,” 19th-century, Italianate-style residence on Charles Street is just the kind of place you should go halfsies on. The four-story brick house is currently configured as a two-family home: One is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, lower-level duplex with a patio; the top duplex has two bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. Both units feature plenty of original details, like exposed brick walls and wide-plank hardwood floors. Or, if you don’t feel like sharing, you can combine and renovate into a single-family home.

Lenox Hill $19.9 million Still worried about the economy? Not ready to jump in and buy, say, an entire Beaux-Arts limestone mansion on East 65th Street? Luckily, you can get just the top portion — a “grand” condo triplex with some 6,500 square feet of living space plus a 968-square-foot roof deck. The home’s “extraordinary modern renovation” features custom finishes by Jonathan Adler, such as an ultrasuede wall covering in the “dramatic” double-height office. The master suite, one of four bedrooms, has nearly 13-foot ceilings, as well as a 500-square-foot terrace. There are also 4 1/2 bathrooms and five gas fireplaces. Agent: Joan Swift, Prudential Douglas Elliman, 212-702-4039

Upper West Side $3.85 million Move on up to West 99th Street, up to the 25th floor of the full-service Ariel West condo building, where you’ll “float” above the Hudson River with “calm and serene peace of mind as the boats go by.” This four-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom home is “spacious and elegant,” with 2,526 square feet that includes an “oversized, loft-like” living/dining room. Other “luxurious” amenities: a chef’s kitchen, marble bathrooms, zoned sound system and custom closets — plus access to the building’s amenities (and those of its companion tower across the street), including a fitness center with a lap pool, a private screening room, a billiards room and more. Agents: Amelia Gewirtz and Andrew Phillips, Halstead Property, 212-381-2219 and 212-381-2227
