New York City
What’s Here: There’s a marvel to behold in every corner of this Upper East Side stunner. The stately living room feels like the paragon of comfort and sophistication, ideal any time of day for a seat beside the wood-burning fireplace. Across the hall lies the library, with its original paneling restored and bedecked in 18-carat gold detailing. At the other end, the luxe primary suite possesses its own fireplace, along with a massive dressing room and lavish ensuite bath. Dozens of windows bask it all with light from all exposures.
What We Love: The kitchen calls to chefs of all levels. Fully upgraded appliances—including multiple ovens—along with ample counter space ensure that everything from grand fêtes to casual Sunday suppers are a cinch to make.

List: $12,400,000.
What’s Here: A three-bedroom duplex penthouse atop one of NYC’s most cherished neighborhoods. Pass through the sunny entry gallery into an open living and dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal south-facing views over Greenwich Village to One World Trade. Things go next level—literally and figuratively—on the upper floor’s wraparound terrace, which also gazes south, boasts plentiful space for outdoor dining or entertaining, and is directly accessible through casement doors in the main bedroom. Meanwhile, north-facing windows in the primary bath, dressing room, and two other bedrooms peer towards the Empire State Building.
What We Love: The building itself—the landmarked Greenwich Lane Condominium—claims a collection of amenities, including a fitness center with a pool, a parking garage, and a 21-seat screening room.

The home theater, brick patio and garden, wine tasting room, and sensational parlor floor will keep all manner of guests well-entertained. Alternatively, the third-floor primary suite dazzles with a balcony, gas fireplace, and a separate library, fostering a comforting sense of privacy you’ll be hard-pressed to leave.
What We Love: Keeping a close eye on the Manhattan skyline. The home’s marvelous roof deck provides stunning private views, and an even closer look can be had from the celebrated Brooklyn Heights Promenade—it’s seconds out the front door.

East End
What’s Here: Unobstructed sunset views over the Peconic are yours for the taking at a Mediterranean-style estate in the prestigious Dering Harbor section of Shelter Island. A villa-like outdoor setting is complete with a pool as a stone walkway leads down the vibrant lawn to 300 feet of personal beach and a 150-foot dock with twin hydraulic boat lifts. Elements like vaulted, beamed ceiling in the great room lend a sense of refined grandeur to the residence’s welcoming interior, also graced with multiple fireplaces. Elsewhere, the lower level hosts the kitchen and dining area, plus rooms for recreation and relaxation.
What We Love: The property’s sprawling main house was once the clubhouse of the revered Gardiner’s Bay Country Club, which remains a short drive away—whether by car or a particularly powerful tee shot.

Hudson Valley
What’s Here: A trendy Woodstock A-frame is just one facet of this unusually groovy estate. A post-and-beam addition completes the residence, creating a total of four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. On the first floor, there’s a living room with a high vaulted ceiling with skylights, an office loft, a sauna, and a primary bedroom with a Roman-style jacuzzi tub, as well as a second bedroom. The second and third floors boast another living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms, so that it can used as a separate guest apartment.
What We Love: There’s plenty to explore on the property’s 2.11 acres. The grounds include a pool, a cabana with a wet bar, a tennis court, a bluestone-lined moat, a gazebo, a greenhouse, a koi pond and stream, and mature fruit trees, including pawpaw trees.

South Florida
What’s Here: Catching a glimpse of the Atlantic will never be a chore at this Highland Beach six-bedroom—whether unwinding in the bedroom, cooking in the kitchen, or basking poolside. You didn’t think they named this street “Ocean Place” for nothing, did you? Inside, life approaches a stylish form of solace with balconies off bedrooms, an array of modern appliances, and plenty of space to relax in comfort. Dozens of windows allow ample sunlight to flow into the home, a naturally-occurring source of unending warmth.
What We Love: Gazing out at the ocean without needing to get off the couch is something special, but this house also has a private staircase leading down to a pristine beach for when looking simply isn’t enough.

Puerto Rico
What’s Here: Luxuriate in this expansive mansion, located in Guaynabo’s San Patricio Estates. Spread out over a 5,100-square-meter lot, the residence was designed by Puerto Rico’s renowned V Architecture, originally founded as Jiménez + Rodríguez Barceló. The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom house was inspired by the Georgetti Mansion, built by Antonin Nechodoma in 1923, the grandest mansion of its time. Every detail here is exquisite, including blue Spanish terracotta roof tiles, Italian marble floors, Austrian chandeliers, mahogany-framed windows, and an impressive kitchen with a walk-in cooler and an intricate, mosaic-style tile floor.
What We Love: The maid’s quarters and laundry area can easily be converted into a separate two-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse.

When it’s time to sleep (or to watch a film in theater-like darkness), simply lower the electronic black-out shades installed throughout.
