The new real estate news from New York...
1) Turtle Bay: A huge and beautiful 20-foot-wide mansion overlooking the East River sold for a cool $35 million, setting a record for price-per-square foot for townhouses of that size.

3) Upper West Side: The brokerbabble calls this place an "irreplaceable historic penthouse," and while that may be a slight exaggeration, it is pretty baller?and it was just pricechopped by $4.5 million. Click through for the drool-worthy photos and floorplan porn.
4) Little Italy: After five long years, the UFO-like domed penthouse of the iconic Police Building has finally found a buyer, and it's a famous one! Zero Dark Thirty producer Megan Ellison bought the place for $2.8 million to use as a pied-a-terre.
