Upper East Side $7 million Once again revealing how less can truly be more in Manhattan real estate, this “exceptional,” 3,200-square-foot co-op on East 72nd Street and Madison Avenue has been reconfigured from 11 rooms into nine, with four bedrooms (and 3 1/2 bathrooms) to go along with a “grand” living room, “elegant” dining room, library with woodburning fireplace and “large” kitchen with pantry and breakfast room “designed for convenience and efficiency.” The architectural elements of the prewar building are very 1920s, as is the service — not just a doorman, but porters and elevator operators, too — though the amenities (like the private health club) are very much up-to-date. Agent: Rina Schafman, Brown Harris Stevens, 212-906-9220

Sutton $4.95 million An “oasis in NYC” that can also be your “home for the ages,” this “palatial,” 2,464-square-foot, full-floor penthouse in a “boutique” doorman condo on East 58th Street offers three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, as well as three balconies. A keyed elevator opens onto a “grand” foyer; beyond is an “expansive” living area with a “wall of windows” offering “skyline to river” views, which include the Chrysler and Empire State buildings. The master suite, meanwhile, is “perfectly scaled,” with a “charming” sitting area and a marble bathroom with his-and-her vanities, a claw-foot soaking tub and a rainfall shower. Agent: Les Meyers, Citi Habitats, 917-375-1640

TriBeCa $5.85 million An “exquisite” restoration has returned the brownstone and cast-iron façade of this “classic” Duane Street loft building to the “graceful character” of the original late-19th-century design. Inside, this duplex penthouse condo reflects the high style now expected of a home “in the heart of one of Manhattan’s finest districts.” The lower of the two levels boasts two bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms, as well as an open kitchen that “flows” into an “impressive” great room. The master suite is upstairs and — in addition to having its own private terrace — leads across to an “open lounge” with a 530-plus-foot “grand terrace” offering “views of downtown Manhattan.” Agents: Brian Meier and Dylan Hildreth-Hoffman, Douglas Elliman, 212-321-7113 and 212-312-7135 Gamut Photos Inc.
