On deck this week: A colorful two-bedroom in Upper Manhattan, a glassy East Hampton beach house, an 18th-century charmer in one of the Hudson Valley’s most sought-after cities, and a meticulous South Florida oceanfront.
Manhattan
What’s Here: The kind of gleaming condominium you usually only see on the glossy pages of a magazine. Sitting atop the historic Merchants House Condominium on North Moore Street, this four-bed, four-bath triplex is impeccably renovated with enticing amenities. With 4,100 square feet, three levels, and 16-foot high ceilings, this home allows you plenty of space to perfect your base in the Triangle Below Canal Street.

Asking: $6,480,000.
What’s Here: A vibrant corner unit in the Morningside Gardens cooperative complex. Upon crossing the threshold into this home, you’ll be bathed in a warm ambiance fostered by high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Basking in that glow are two bedrooms with ample closet space, a newly renovated bathroom, and a custom kitchen complete with blue cabinetry and detailed tiling.
What We Love: Among many other amenities, if you want to fill your home with some genuinely original artwork, the building offers a professional ceramic and woodworking shop.

Asking: $775,000.
Brooklyn
What’s Here: The top-floor corner penthouse of your very specific, home-centric dreams. This converted factory loft is rife with pre-war charms: exposed brick, original wood beams and ceilings, and oversized factory windows that invite natural light in. Adding modernity are touches like a gas fireplace, spa baths, and completely redone oak flooring throughout. You even get a swing!
