This $4.8M townhouse adds modern architecture to a historic Manhattan Valley block

The Upper West Side's Manhattan Valley district has a neighborhood vibe that's increasingly rare in New York City. This aspect–along with proximity to Central Park–is another reason the five-floor townhouse at 138 Manhattan Avenue may be a rare find. Asking $4,750,000, the 19th-century home was designed by noted Gilded Age architect C.P.H. Gilbert. Within its graceful frame, the home's interiors are a showcase of modern architecture and design, including a roof deck and "penthouse" studio on the fifth floor.

For $6.9M, this Scarsdale mansion is a true 21st-century estate

A Westchester County estate may signify a certain level of achievement, but it can also signal a retreat from the rhythm of modern life. With a pool, gym, wine room, and endless entertaining and play space, this contemporary mansion is more luxury resort than country castle–modern life included. Asking $6,875,000, the Scarsdale property is sufficiently estate-like on the outside. Inside, 21st-century best-ofs like smart-home technology and a geothermal heating and cooling system power nearly 10,000 square feet of living space with six bedrooms.

An Andy Warhol painting of Trump Tower commissioned by Donald Trump—but never paid for—has sold at auction.

This $5.6M Tribeca condo in a former spice-grinding factory brings warmth to loft proportions

Converted industrial spaces often lack the warmth of other types of pre-war properties. This fourth-floor loft at 176 Duane Street, asking $5,600,000, is wrapped in warm wood and natural brick, with a wood-burning fireplace and burnished wood floors. Built in the 1800s and used as a spice and coffee grinding factory, the Neo-Grec building in the Tribeca West Historic District–just across from Duane Park–was converted to lofts in 1999. The two-bedroom loft doesn't sacrifice warmth for loft luxuries like open spaces and soaring ceilings.

NYC pied-à-terre guide: Top condos for buying a second home

By 6sqft

Translating from French meaning "foot on the ground," pied-à-terre is an apartment in New York City used as a secondary residence. It is only occupied part-time and is not the owner's primary home. These part-time apartments can range from modest studios to luxurious condos, often used by people who regularly visit the city for business or leisure. We take a look at the most popular buildings in NYC for second homes, from newer condos like One High Line in Chelsea and the Ritz-Carlton Residences, New York, NoMad to more established buildings like the Plaza on Central Park South.
