A chic little South Slope townhouse with a front porch, yard, and roof terrace asks $2.5M

As soon as you spot the compact-but-welcoming front porch and red door on the house at 320 15th Street, you can tell that good things can indeed come in small packages when it comes to townhouse living. Asking $2,495,000, this single-family South Slope residence has three bedrooms in its current layout and gets the important benefit of outdoor space in the form of (in addition to the rocking-chair ready porch) a large backyard and a full roof deck.

This old West Village firehouse is now a peerless $21M townhouse with a jazz club in the basement

By Michelle Cohen

Lovely on its own, but even more interesting as a former firehouse, the five-story building at 78 Morton Street was built in the 1800s. In its current life, the 6,850-square-foot townhouse is a single-family residence that makes a remarkably strong case for living up to its $21 million ask. In addition to the peerless perk of a private, wood-paneled elevator that accesses each of its five floors, the exquisite home has a four-car garage/gallery space with a curb cut, a landscaped terrace garden, a glass-paneled penthouse level with a roof terrace, and an elegantly outfitted jazz club–complete with stage–in the basement.

On a landmarked block in Sunset Park, this single-family row house offers the best of both worlds, combining historic design with modern upgrades.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s palatial former Plaza suite asks $18.9M

By Michelle Cohen

Once known as the Frank Lloyd Wright Suite–the architect lived in the corner apartment at the Plaza Hotel while he was working on the Guggenheim Museum from 1954 to 1959–this impressive condominium residence at 1 Central Park South occupies the rare level of Manhattan homes that just may justify its towering price tag. Asking $18,900,000, the 4,000-square-foot home adds up to a living space as dazzling as the park and city views it offers. Featured in Architectural Digest in 2014 as a media power pair's pied-a-terre, this extraordinary apartment offers the five-star hotel amenities of the iconic Plaza along with those views.

Behind a stately Village brownstone facade, a massive six-story mansion asks $35M

By Michelle Cohen

From a basement gym to a fully landscaped roof terrace–and the elevator that shuttles between them–the six-floor townhouse at 34 West 12th Street has all the trimmings of a contemporary suburban mansion. From the outside, the 1860s home maintains the genteel tone of the neighborhood, its perfectly preserved brownstone facade blending with neighbors on a tree-lined Greenwich Village block. Though a no-expenses-spared three-year renovation has endowed the home's interiors with over 7,000 square feet of luxury finishes and 2,000 square feet of private gardens and terraces, its $35,000,000 ask represents a tall order.
