Carroll Gardens is a favorite Brooklyn neighborhood, and this 2-bedroom is a wonderful example of why. Thanks to large windows, it’s bright and sunny and has an open living and kitchen area. Speaking of the kitchen, it’s got a butcher block island and a dishwasher, plus an in-unit washer and dryer. Best of all? The unit is on the top floor of the building, which means you get private roof rights!

This 2-bedroom, which was fully renovated in 2018, has all the charm that comes to mind when you envision Brooklyn Heights — and impressive size to boot. The living room has great 10th-floor views and a wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchen has bar seating, a Wolf stove and range top, a dishwasher, and Carrara marble. Found in a historic elevator building, residents enter through a period lobby with plaster details, columns, and mosaic tile flooring.

This one-of-a-kind Lenox Hill 2-bedroom is an art lover’s paradise. Designed by a collector with the intention of making it the ultimate place to display art, the full-floor home has a large living area with gallery walls and dark oak flooring. The sleek kitchen has custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and high-end appliances by Subzero, Miele, and Thermador. Storage abounds thanks to spacious walk-in closets, and an in-unit washer and dryer provides the utmost convenience. The pre-war building, a neo-Federal style landmarked townhouse built in 1916, offers a doorman and fifth-floor terrace.

Over on the Upper West Side we have a truly striking one-bedroom duplex. The living room is light-filled and grandiose, with double-height ceilings and 18-foot windows. Upstairs is the full-floor primary bedroom, also with soaring ceilings as well as a custom closet, built-in storage and shelving, and an en-suite bathroom with a pink onyx sink and luxurious soaking tub. Perhaps most exciting is that the home has both a private garden terrace and a Juliet balcony overlooking Riverside Park. The condop building has full-service amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, and roof garden.

It’s rare to find a pre-war doorman building in the West Village, and this one has everything. With great light throughout the space, the living room has custom wall-to-wall millwork and a renovated wood-burning fireplace featuring Pietra Cardosa marble. The kitchen has a marble checkerboard floors, a Delft tile backsplash, marble countertops, and a custom banquette. The primary bedroom has soundproofed windows and grass cloth wallpaper, while the second bedroom has been turned into an unbelievable dressing room with wall-to-wall carpeting, a custom island, a drawer designed for hair appliances, and built-in valet rods. High-gloss lacquer millwork and brass accents put the cherry on top.
