Cobble Hill does not do ordinary townhouses, and 151 Kane Street is the proof. Listed for $14.5 million by Aran Scott, Anthony Robles and Peter Perez of Douglas Elliman, the 24-foot-wide house began life as a five-family home and has been gutted and rebuilt as a single-family residence spanning five stories plus a fully finished lower level, with a private elevator stitching it all together. The main floor is built for a crowd: a gracious living room with custom millwork, wide-plank herringbone floors and a natural-stone fireplace, flowing into a dining area and a chef's kitchen anchored by an oversized stone island.
At the back of the kitchen, a wall of glass frames the garden, with a terrace stepping out toward it. The garden level adds a family room that opens straight onto the landscaped garden, plus a guest bedroom and bath. A dedicated primary floor pairs an oversized bedroom and dressing room with a home office and a marble-clad bath built around a freestanding soaking tub, while the lower level goes full lifestyle: screening room, fitness studio and sauna. On one of Cobble Hill's prettiest tree-lined blocks, it is the rare renovation that feels both brand new and entirely at home.

Some houses are architecture; this one is a biography. The Leuthold House at 631 West Road in New Canaan, Connecticut, listed for $6.2 million by John Engel and Melissa Engel of Douglas Elliman, was designed in 1966 by Allan Gelbin, a Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice who supervised the building of Tirranna and considered this his finest work. It is also where sculptor Marc Leuthold grew up, and the art never left: eight permanent outdoor sculptures stand among nearly five private acres of gardens and 150 specimen trees sourced from the New York Botanical Garden. On the market for the first time in 29 years.
The house itself is a long curve of glass, white plaster and mahogany beneath two fully planted green roofs that change with the seasons, looking out over a spring-fed, concrete-lined pond the size of an Olympic swimming pool. Inside, 5,600 square feet of Gelbin's teak and mahogany millwork run through six bedrooms and five and a half baths, with a first-floor primary wing, a roof terrace above, and an office whose files hide behind a disappearing mahogany wall. A covered carport connects a self-contained guest house with its own bedroom, bath, kitchenette and living area.

A keyed elevator opens directly into this full-floor home at 50 Madison Avenue, listed for $5,150,000 by Louise Phillips Forbes of Brown Harris Stevens, and the whole park pours in: 29 feet of Madison Square Park frontage behind floor-to-ceiling glass, from a fourth-floor perch just above the treetops, with the Flatiron Building and the MetLife Clocktower beyond the canopy. The 2,630-square-foot residence has three bedrooms and three and a half baths, ten-foot ceilings and herringbone floors running the length of a great room that stays sunlit from morning to evening.
There is a story in the address, too. 50 Madison served as the ASPCA's headquarters in the late 1890s and remains pet-friendly today, which makes it the most historically appropriate dog-friendly listing in Manhattan. South-facing park views, a private elevator landing and NoMad at your feet: prewar bones, treetop light, and a building that was kind to animals before it was fashionable.
Gramercy is Beaux-Arts brownstones and guarded tradition, which is exactly why The Florian stands out. Penthouse B at 350 East 18th Street, listed for $4.375 million by Douglas Elliman's Eklund | Gomes team, is a conservatory penthouse in a neighborhood that does not usually do glass crowns: 14-foot ceilings, soaring windows and a sculptural staircase climbing to a private rooftop. With three bedrooms, three and a half baths and 1,762 square feet inside, it is a genuine indoor-outdoor sanctuary in the middle of Manhattan.
The outdoor math is the headline: 945 square feet of private outdoor space, split between a 172-square-foot balcony off the living and dining areas and a 773-square-foot roof terrace above. The building, a 54-residence development from T&E Development, is part of a quiet wave of contemporary micro-developments modernizing Gramercy from within. A Manhattan penthouse with a rooftop, under $5 million, one block from the park: they do not come along often.
