Miami $14.5 million So this “distinctive” and “breathtaking” Coconut Grove condo at the Grovernor House building was featured in the Italian edition of Architectural Digest as “Miami’s premier penthouse” — now that it’s in Dream Homes, you’ll know it’s deserving of the hype. Take “some of the best, uninterrupted skyline views,” throw in 9,110 square feet of lavishly decorated interior space and add 2,700 square feet of “Zen-like rooftop sanctuary” (complete with a pool, outdoor kitchen and waterfall) and, yeah, that’s pretty premier. The building is plenty swank, too, with a pool and basketball and tennis courts. Agent: Mayi De La Vega, One Sotheby’s International Realty, 305-778-7990

Water Mill, LI $8.5 million Calling this “the Ultimate Beach Shack” might not seem like the highest praise — but for high seven-figures, it can be called whatever it wants. Much more than a shack, this two-story “beach cottage” encompasses 2,000 square feet of interior, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It’s the location, though, that should blow you away: “nestled” high upon a dune, it overlooks more than 100 feet of direct oceanfront, and the acre-plus property is large enough to add a swimming pool. The home itself, meanwhile, has been “fully renovated,” with “exquisite designer details,” from the “pickled” pine floors up to the commissioned dining chandelier. And from the open living room to the oversized master bedroom, picture windows face out on the glory of Mecox Bay. Agent: Lynda Packard, Douglas Elliman, 631-204-2747

Upper East Side $7.995 million On East 69th Street, this “brilliantly designed” condo proves once again that less can be more. Its old seven-room layout has been “meticulously renovated” into six — with three bedrooms spread out over the “sprawling” 3,023 square feet of interior space. Besides space, the flexibility allows for “grand entertaining” and “luxurious living”: The second bedroom doubles as a mahogany-paneled library (with its own wet bar), while the third bedroom can also serve as a media room and/or home office. The master suite, meanwhile, is its own living space with his-and-her bathrooms (the home has 3 1/2 bathrooms total) plus a “room-sized” custom closet. And the grand living room and formal dining room are always there to impress guests. Agent: Stephanie Kanner, Fox Residential Group, 212-639-9719
