For $25M, a Flatiron penthouse in a golden cupola, with Manhattan at your feet

By Michelle Cohen

If you're asking $25 million for a Manhattan condo, even if it's a mansion-sized penthouse with Empire State Building views and a Fifth Avenue address, it had better occupy a gilded sky dome atop a neighborhood landmark. With that qualification met, this extravagant duplex atop the Sohmer Piano Building at 170 Fifth Avenue–the listing calls it a "Renaissance rocket ship"–has more grand gestures to offer: The seller, entrepreneur Greg Carr, has pledged the home's sale proceeds toward his highly-regarded philanthropic project, the rebuilding of a decimated national wildlife park in Mozambique.

For $5.5M, this Flatiron condo with four-bedroom potential is a prize for loft-lovers

By Michelle Cohen

Located in the Flatiron District just off Madison Square Park at 35 West 23rd Street, this 3,400-square-foot, full-floor home checks all the boxes for classic Manhattan loft living. Asking $5,495,000, the sprawling space comes with the condo convenience lacking in the city's pre-war lofts. As an added perk, there's a balcony for a dose of outdoor enjoyment. All the good stuff is there, including ceilings of nearly 14 feet, tall cast-iron columns, and 10-foot-high windows. Spanning the building's entire third floor, the space is currently configured with two bedrooms and internal sleeping and office rooms, but an alternate floor plan shows the ease with which it can be made into a four-bedroom home.

Heatwave goals: A $25M Flatiron penthouse with a rooftop infinity pool

By Michelle Cohen

When summer days roll by under sizzling heat, it's easy to start dreaming of stepping through a tall wall of glass into a sparkling pool. This triplex penthouse condo at 240 Park Avenue South is that summer fantasy (complete with a $25,000,000 price tag) come to life. At its apex, a 30-foot-long azure blue pool stretches, seemingly to the horizon (or at least to the building's edge), surrounded by Manhattan's glory.
