This "Gold Coast" duplex atop a co-op loft building at 30 West 13th Street has the Lower Manhattan skyline views you'd expect from a Greenwich Village penthouse. Inside, the contrast between dark, luxuriant finishes and clean white walls makes the pre-war space feel fresh as well as authentic. Asking $3,850,000, the two-floor home offers two bedrooms and two full baths. There's also a private roof deck, built-in speakers, recessed lighting, a washer/dryer, central A/C–and a home cinema system with a retractable screen.

For $4.65M, this Upper West Side ‘classic seven’ is a designer’s dream

By
The pre-war details and gracious proportions at this three-bedroom co-op at 210 West 90th Street are perfectly complemented by the flawless renovation it received at the hands of Gramercy Design. Built in 1915, the Astor Court co-op is an Upper West Side icon, and this thoroughly livable apartment, asking $4,650,000, adds 21st-century comfort to its old New York charm. Adding even more to its appeal, the home's furnishings can be included in the sale for a higher price.

$1.36M gets you NYC waterfront living in this three-bedroom Roosevelt Island co-op

By
Roosevelt Island may or may not be the city's "best-kept secret," as the listing says when it comes to getting more space for less. But it's not often you find a three-bedroom, two-bath co-op on New York City's waterfront, minutes from the Upper East Side, for $1.36 million. In the 19-story Westview at 625 Main Street, this recently-renovated home offers river views and luxury finishes.

$699K Hudson Heights co-op updates 1930s Deco details for 21st-century life

By
This two-bedroom co-op at 420 Bennett Avenue in Hudson Heights, asking $699,000, has 1930s Deco details like a sunken living room and arched doorways. A complete renovation has updated that pre-war perfection for 21st-century living. The building's location at the edge of Fort Tryon Park, which sits at one of the highest points in Manhattan, feels a lot like some of the best stretches of the Upper West Side.

$1.7M parkside co-op in ‘Brooklyn’s Flatiron Building’ has prewar grandeur and modern style

By
As one of the elegant pre-war co-ops at 47 Plaza Street West in the 1928 Rosario Candela-designed building sometimes referred to as “Brooklyn’s Flatiron” due to its pizza-slice form, this three-bedroom home has the gracious architecture you'd expect from a landmarked residence. The interiors, however, are a pleasant surprise of sophisticated modern design and contemporary comforts. The building's location at the border of Park Slope and Prospect Heights is just as lovely, with the entrance to Prospect Park across the street. The home is now asking $1,699,000.

Manhattan housing market makes record rebound to close out 2021

By
New York City real estate made a major comeback to close out 2021, experts say. According to a new report from Compass, condo and co-op sales volume hit $7 billion in the last quarter of the year, the highest of any fourth quarter on record. More than 3,400 apartments were sold in this quarter, between October 1 and December 31, up 79 percent from the previous year and the highest total in a Q4 since 2013. After Covid crippled much of the market in 2020, 2021 saw an impressive turnaround in Manhattan, particularly with the sales of luxury properties, new development condos, and townhouses.

This $3M West Village co-op has old-world charm at a 21st-century price

By
This two-bedroom, two-bath co-op at 67 Perry Street is tucked into a landmarked 19th-century row house on one of the loveliest blocks in the coveted West Village. The familiar collection of sweet details–exposed brick, a working fireplace, bay windows, and high ceilings–is enhanced by a considered custom renovation that adds colorful design and modern comfort. The compact floor-through walk-up has been cleverly carved out of a railroad layout, and though it's the embodiment of a romantic Village flat, the $2,995,000 asking price may seem more alarming than charming.

After 30+ years, Andy Warhol’s art director lists Noho penthouse for $6M

By
Marc Balet was the longtime art director for Andy Warhol's Interview Magazine, as well as for his talk show 15 Minutes that aired on MTV from 1985 to 1987. Around this same time, in the late '80s, he purchased a three-floor loft at 620 Broadway in Noho that was used as a dance studio. He transformed it into a beautiful, light-filled live-work home, even calling on his friend Fran Lebowitz to have her father, who owned a furniture store, create custom curtains for the 17-foot-tall space. The window treatments remain today, as do many other personal mementos, including lava lamps gifted by Pee-Wee Herman and a huge wall of celebrity photographs. Balet has now decided to put the home on the market for $5,995,000 and considering it also has an incredible amount of outdoor space, it's a place not to be missed.

Located at 372 Fifth Avenue, it's on the market for $650,000.

Designed by prolific architect Emery Roth, Brooklyn Height's St. George Tower was constructed in 1929 as part of the full-block St. George Hotel complex. The 30-story Art Deco tower at 111 Hicks Street was converted to 275 co-ops in 1984, leaving its east-facing apartments with views just as prolific. This three-bedroom duplex on the 22nd and 23rd floors has a 57-foot-long terrace that overlooks the entire Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Verrazano bridges--views that are completely protected and enjoyed by every single room in the home.

By
There's technically nothing spectacular about this Park Slope co-op, but it's got a cheerful disposition that makes us happy. The $775,000 price tag is also quite eyecatching for a two-bedroom plus roof deck, but it should be noted that the bedrooms are both on the small side, there's minimal closet space, and the rooftop is still mostly raw. However, on the plus side, the home is located at 813 8th Avenue, just one block from Prospect Park.
