$1.78M Midtown condo is a renovated pre-war gem with designer details and old-world amenities

It's somewhat surprising to find that the elegantly-named Parc Vendome at 340 West 57th Street is a condominium; its old-world charm brings to mind the city's classic pre-war co-ops. In addition to condo convenience, this 14th-floor one-bedroom home offers 1,200 square feet of living space, modern renovations with a designer's eye, and a genteel collection of building amenities that range from a doorman to a private dining room. It's now on the market for $1,775,000.

This $75M Chelsea penthouse includes the city’s largest private outdoor pool

By Michelle Cohen

When we behold corporate executive/real estate investor David Weinreb's west side trophy penthouse at 551 West 21st Street, a few questions may arise: Why does someone need three elevators? Do we want to walk through the wine closet to get to the living room? Is the West Side Highway a $75 million streetscape? And could we perhaps have done better than artificial turf for the 4,000-square-foot rooftop terrace? That said, if you're listing your penthouse for $75 million, in addition to city and river views for days, you'd really better have the largest private outdoor pool in New York City, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten had better have designed your kitchen. This box seat in the stadium of Manhattan living covers those must-haves and many more.

Actor Anthony Rapp’s Noho loft studio, bought with ‘Rent’ money, is now asking $1.95M

By Michelle Cohen

This classic loft studio in the landmarked building at 1 Bond Street was, for 23 years, the home of actor Anthony Rapp, who played the leading role of Mark Cohen in the Broadway hit "Rent," as well as in the film version. The actor, who had lived in an East Village walk-up much like the ones featured in the play, purchased the downtown loft 23 years ago for $375,000 saved from his burgeoning acting career. The 1,250 square-foot second-floor studio–with beautifully designed custom renovations added by Rapp over the years–is now asking $1.95 million.

. The landmarked 32-story building at 100 Barclay Street–formerly known as the Barclay-Vesey Building–is considered by some to be the world's first Art Deco skyscraper. Designed by notable Jazz Age architect Ralph Walker, the building first opened in 1927; the tower’s upper floors were reimagined as luxurious loft residences in 2015. The grandest of these, unit 20B, is a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home that spans 3,665 square feet, currently on the market for $8.8 million.

By Michelle Cohen

The palatial residence perched on the 29th floor of Downtown Manhattan's iconic Woolworth Building is unique enough as it is. Now, Pavilion A at The Woolworth Tower Residences at 2 Park Place has the additional status of having been recently featured in the season three premiere of HBO's Succession. Two years ago, 6sqft reported the apartment's listing for $29.85 million–about $3 million less than when it made its debut. In addition to its star turn on the Emmy-winning drama, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath duplex has been discounted 30 percent to $23.355 million.
