FROM
MALIBU TO MONTAUK |

“Whether
it’s Malibu or Montauk, I’ve always loved the
peace of being near the ocean,” says actress Tuesday
Weld, best known for her iconic movie roles in the late ’50s
through ’60s. Now, with her children grown, she’s
decided to put her 5BR/5bth Montauk home on the market.
Weld bought the home 18 years ago when Montauk was mainly
a fishing village. It’s walking distance from the town,
which has retained its non-glitzy feel. Aside from spectacular
ocean views, it features a large open kitchen/dining area,
two fireplaces, a slate porch for glorious sunsets, and a
private stairway to the beach. There is also a 20x40ft heated
pool that includes its own 1BR/1bth house with fireplace.
While now enjoying life as a world traveler, Weld says she’ll
always find a way to spend time in Montauk... “Whenever
I came to this house for the weekend, I wound up staying two
months.” $12 million. An exclusive offering.

A
DIFFERENT ANGLE ON NYC
Few
would dispute the notion that the views from New Jersey’s
waterfront are among the most spectacular around. At night
Manhattan glitters like a jewel box, and the Statue of Liberty
and Ellis Island are breathtaking. Homeowners at Liberty Terrace,
the new luxury condominium in Jersey City’s historic
Paulus Hook, get that and a lot more. The nine-story, glass-encased
building offers ultra-enhanced views through floor-to-ceiling
windows.
Understandably, just weeks from opening, 60 percent of Liberty
Terrace’s 119 condos have been sold. These 1, 2 and
3BRs, starting in the low $600,000s, feature top-of-the-line
detailing. Kitchens have granite countertops, cherry cabinets
and KitchenAid Professional appliances. Each home has a Bosch
washer/dryer. Baths have marble or limestone floors and brushed-nickel
fixtures. Liberty Terrace’s proximity to Manhattan is
a huge draw - the nearby PATH train or ferry will whisk you
into the city within 15 minutes. This is an exclusive offering.

A
JEWEL IN THE GARDEN STATE

Beach-inspired floor plans with chic Manhattan styling.

Oversized laundry rooms cater to busy lives. Master bedrooms
feature spacious walk-in closets. Master baths have his-and-her
sinks, Kohler BubbleMassage tubs, and tiled stall showers with

fitness center and ocean-view pool. Best of all is the sunset-facing
rooftop garden/terrace. Opening March 2007. Low $600,000s to

“Today,
when prices in the rest of the market are stabilizing, waterfront
properties are holding their value or even increasing,” says
Marilyn Larsen, president of Lane Realty in Jericho, NY. “There
are only so many great waterfront homes, and they’re commanding
prices 10 to 25 percent higher than equivalent inland properties.”
