Manhattan’s limited collection of rooftop cottages is the stuff of legend, but they’re rarely available for sale. One of those legendary structures, part of a penthouse co-op atop a classic Gramercy loft building at 105 East 16th Street, is now on the market for $5,750,000.

This unusual urban aerie has been published in New York Magazine–it’s the East Coast home of Mark Lee, Broadway producer and former CEO of Barneys and Gucci.
