Part of a new high-end residential development known as Villanova Heights in the uppermost part of the Bronx's Riverdale section, this colonial revival house has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a pretty lawn, and an in-ground pool.

With out-of-control views of lower Manhattan from nearly every room, this fully restored Brooklyn Heights penthouse has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a ton of outdoor terrace space to entertain. That, plus a wine cellar (with room for 3,500 bottles), private gym (with a climbing wall), and private theater could make any diehard Manhattanite consider jumping across the river.

All three penthouses in this Battery Park City Ritz-Carlton building are currently up for grabs, and they're actually being marketed to buyers as a potential sprawling one unit residence. Occupying the entire 39th and 40th floors, there's enough space for 12+ bedrooms, 15+ bathrooms, and at least three kitchens, not to mention it would be one of the largest single family homes to exist on the island. As for views, you would have no shortage of them with 2,200 square feet of outdoor space spread across four private terraces.
