New Canaan, Conn. $7.495 million Going up? The elevator in this 2003 stone-and-slate home makes four stops, but even on the ground floor, you’ve already reached the top. The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom house — surrounded by 5-plus acres– offers “true classic elegance,” from the two-story mahogany library to the kitchen equipped with “state of the art” appliances to the “lavish” stone terrace with its own kitchen and fireplace. The fully finished lower level — take the elevator! — includes a bar room, a family room and an exercise room. And a heated swimming pool overlooks the “expansive lawn and gardens.” Agents: Wendy Ward and Kristine Johnson, Halstead Property, 203-656-6557 and 203-656-6535

Carnegie Hill $10.995 million Putting the “house” back in firehouse, this building on East 90th Street, originally the home of Fire Patrol 4, has been converted to a mixed-use structure with flexibility for a live/work situation. (The street level currently houses a gallery.) At 25 feet wide, the 5,250-square-foot structure has “terrific light” on all of its three floors. The top floor offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. The double-height parlor level has ceilings high enough to accommodate “large-scale artwork and/or a regulation-height basketball hoop.” And the “large” private ivy-walled garden should set your heart aflame. Agent: Maria Manuche, The Corcoran Group, 212-836-1041

Upper West Side $3.8 million Perched above West End Avenue, unit 7AB is currently two adjacent apartments on a full floor, totaling around 3,000 square feet. And all it takes to restore the place to its “original grandeur” is an “extremely easy combination.” The result would encompass five bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, four exposures and 25 windows offering “beautiful, open” views of landmarked townhouses in “every direction.” Plus, this is your chance to design “the perfect layout you always wanted” in a prewar boutique co-op with a 24-hour doorman and an elevator operator. Agents: Yair Tavivian and Ariel Tavivian, Prudential Douglas Elliman, 212-319-4321 and 212-319-4109
