WHEN ONLY A MANSION WILL DO
Upper East Side
$35 million
Since we love talking numbers, how about 778? As in 778 Park Ave., designed by Rosario Candela (widely regarded as the finest architect of luxury apartments in the 20th century), where you'll find this 14-room home owned by fashion designer Vera Wang. The six bedrooms, five-plus bathrooms, grand living room, dining room and library with wood-burning fireplace (which all face Park Avenue) "define luxury that is hard to equal," while the remodeled chef's kitchen with two Miele dishwashers and a U-line wine cooler makes entertaining a breeze. But before you get your hopes up, make sure you have well over $35 million in the bank because no mortgages are allowed and the monthly maintenance is $10,717. How's that for a number?
