When only a mansion will do...
By Victor Wishna
$7.9 MILLION
Set high above East 58th Street, this full-floor co-op boasts 6,000 square feet of "impeccable space," with "jaw-dropping views" from "every one" of its 11-plus rooms. A "fusion" of three apartments, this home has been "reinvented" with five "generously scaled" bedrooms -- plus a "king-sized" master suite -- and 6½ bathrooms. (Separate elevator access to the bedrooms on the north side of the apartment allows absolute privacy for your guests.) If you love to entertain, then you'll appreciate the windowed, eat-in kitchen and the "oversized" dining room that "flawlessly" flows into the "grand-scaled" living room with a balcony. And all the built-in amenities you would expect -- "sleek" cabinetry, recessed lighting, a sound system and central air -- are here, in a full-service, white-glove building.

Looking for "space, comfort and privacy" in a trendy downtown location? This Laight Street condo loft delivers, with 2,783 square feet in the Sugar Warehouse building, so named because it's a warehouse that once belonged to, yes, the US Sugar company. And it is (forgive us) a pretty sweet apartment. There are three bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, a double-height living/dining room with 16-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a "state of the art" kitchen that opens onto a "lounge area" and an upstairs library. The building amenities -- a 24-hour doorman, gym, playroom and roof deck -- are icing on the cake.
