This Gold Coast penthouse at 21 East 10th Street is blessed with open city views in three directions, and a landscaped terrace that wraps the home on three sides means you can enjoy the views–from the Freedom Tower to the Empire State Building–indoors or out. Asking $2,995,000, the two-bedroom pre-war co-op has plenty of interior charm, with large rooms, coffered ceilings, and wood floors awash in natural light.

Trophy pad alert: A 12,557-square-foot penthouse in Central Park Tower at 217 West 57th Street just hit the market, asking for a skyscraping $175,000,000. The duplex Billionaires’ Row condo spans the 107th and 108th floor of what is to date the Western Hemisphere’s tallest residential tower. It’s a tower filled with superlatives–including the world’s highest residence,  a $250 million triplex just a few floors above. If this two-story sky mansion gets its asking price, it could be New York City’s second-biggest residential sale ever.

The penthouse at 66 Madison Avenue is one of those unusual apartments that resembles nothing so much as a charming cabin in the sky, surrounded by 700 square feet of outdoor terrace space. This 1,100-square-foot one-bedroom co-op–located in the building’s original rooftop machine room–is perched atop a 1918 Beaux Arts building in the popular Nomad neighborhood. 6sqft featured the rooftop aerie when the previous owner, designer and fashion PR exec Leslie Klotz, listed it for $2.450 million in 2016; it sold for $2,260,000 in early 2017. House Beautiful called the light-filled home, now asking $2.5 million, “a wonderful mashup of Manhattan and Montmartre.”

Along with the freestanding sky-cottage is a stylish main apartment and multi-level gardens and terraces.
