Dream Homes

TriBeCa $8.995 million

With the economic recovery still in flux, you might as well live like it's 1929, in this "spectacular" converted Art Deco penthouse loft (originally built in 1929). The condo -- with five bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms -- takes up an entire floor (that's 3,374 square feet), 18 stories above Reade Street, and offers "dramatic, 360-degree" vistas of all the Lower and Midtown Manhattan landmarks, from river to river. The corner living room alone measures 875 square feet, the ceilings throughout are 11 to 12 feet, and the two private terraces give you an additional 1,025 square feet to spread out.
