Six homes, each one walked by us before it was listed.

A four-storey brownstone with its original stoop, shutters and a south-facing garden.

Parlour-floor co-op with eleven-foot ceilings and two marble fireplaces that still draw.

Top-floor condo with skylights, a skyline view and a shared roof that almost nobody uses.

Single-family limestone with a rebuilt rear extension and a kitchen that opens to the garden.

A clapboard carriage house set back from the street, with a deep porch and a lemon tree.

A garden-level one-bedroom in a timber-clad new build, with radiant floors and a private patio.
