Two penthouses and a townhouse

When you’re buying at the rarified luxury level, it goes without saying that you’ll get plenty of space and top-of-the-line everything. To stay head and shoulders above all those other eight-figure buyers, palatial penthouses look down from great heights and newly-minted townhouse condos offer the luxury of a house in the city without the hassle of upkeep. This week’s top Manhattan sales cover both enviable options.
