DREAM HOMES

Upper West Side

$3.3 million

According to the brochure, this duplex penthouse is “magazine quality.” And though we’re a newspaper, we quite agree. The co-op affords “brilliant” light (thanks to four exposures) and “expansive terraces” on both levels. Views of the surrounding cityscape are offered not only from the terraces, but from the beautiful glass-enclosed living room and kitchen on the entry level and from the two bedrooms on the second floor, too.

Darien, Conn.

$4.095 million

Why schlep to the island of Nantucket when you can get this luxe “Nantucket shingle-style home” located just 45 miles from Manhattan? Set in the tony Tokeneke section of town, the six-bedroom, 6 1/2-bathroom house features landscaped grounds with terraced stone walls and a swimming pool. Inside, three levels add up to approximately 8,000 square feet of space, including a “huge” gourmet kitchen, two great rooms with fireplaces, an exercise room with a sauna and a temperature-controlled wine room – all accessible via an elevator. And while the house might not be on an actual island, the “secluded” Tokeneke waterfront promises plenty of exclusivity.

SoHo

$16.5 million

In this neighborhood, it’s not uncommon to find large loft spaces, but this full-floor condo loft, on a high floor with “spectacular” views and outdoor space, is rather rare. Offering unobstructed vistas in all four directions, the 3,600-square-foot space features two bedrooms (including an “extraordinary” master suite), 2 ½ bathrooms, a study, a den/media room (with a gas fireplace and concealed flat-screen television), an open kitchen and dining area and an expansive living room. From the private roof deck, you can see the skyline classics (the Empire State and Chrysler buildings), plus three East River bridges. Enjoy the view!
