Get full skyline views from the 57-foot-long terrace at this $2.75M Brooklyn Heights condo

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.

Cheery Park Slope two-bedroom with a roof deck and a mix of pros + cons asks $775K

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.

Upper East Side four-bedroom is an Art Deco entertainer’s dream, asking $13.75M

The Upper East Side co-op at 895 Park Avenue was built in 1930 to the designs of Sloan & Robertson, best known for the Art Deco Chanin Building in Midtown. The firm employed the same period style here, but this unit has undergone a more recent renovation that infused it with a glamorous Art Deco style that still feels fresh and modern. Asking $13,750,000, the home has four bedrooms, a moody library, formal and informal dining rooms, and, our favorite, a kitchen that resembles a French bistro.

Ben Stiller’s childhood home on the Upper West Side is for sale after more than 50 years

The long-time Upper West Side home of the late comedy duo Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara has hit the market for the first time in more than 50 years, the New York Times first reported. The expanded co-op at 118 Riverside Drive is where they raised their children, actors Amy Stiller and Ben Stiller, as well as "wrote and collaborated on material and entertained a host of celebrities," according to the Times. Stiller and Meara moved from Washington Heights into unit 5A in 1965 when the building was a rental (they paid $220/month) and purchased it when the building went co-op a few years later. In the early '80s, they also bought unit 5B and combined them into the five-bedroom home that is now listed for $5 million.

Rustic mixed with a modern flair is how we'd describe this one-bedroom West Village co-op. Exposed brick and wooden ceiling beams run all throughout the home, but the whitewashing and contemporary decor add a fresh feel. But magical is the word we'd use for the view out the window, which overlooks the building's "secret garden" courtyard, complete with trees, flowers, and a 50-foot Elm. Located at 715 Washington Street, it's asking $785,000.
