The walnut travertine stone walls, floors and surrounds in the master baths are accented with emperador marble mosaic and stunning vanities are topped with slabs of travertine and trough sinks.

Other lush pluses include an Equinox fitness center with a dedicated fitness concierge and a fabulous kid’s playroom. From $955,000. FALL 2007

“Traditionally, certain buyers would only consider the Upper East Side,” said Robert Kaliner, co–principal of Ascend Group LLC. “With recent neighborhood transformations, though, those same buyers are finding the East Village and Lower East Side to be just as appealing.”
