Gail Bornze, Estelle Meister and Steven Cid at Douglas Elliman have the priciest listing to hit the Manhattan market this week with a $21.8 million townhouse in Lenox Hill. The 10,120-square-foot property at 591 Park Avenue is being marketed for use as either a private residence or small luxury corporate headquarters and boasts a roof terrace overlooking Central Park.

Across the park at 38 West 87th Street on the Upper West Side, Team Rocco New York at Blu Realty Group has the week’s second-priciest listing with a $17.5 million ask. The 8,400-square-foot townhouse, originally built in 1891 and designed by architect Gilbert Schellenger, is being completely rebuilt and will be completed for a summer move-in. The property boasts six bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a 500-foot solarium and a large outdoor garden.

We head back east for the week’s third-priciest listing: a 4,357-square-foot co-op at the former Stanhope Hotel asking $13.99 million. Located at 995 Fifth Avenue, the renovated five-bedroom home — built in 1926 by Rosario Candela but converted into a cond-op by Extell Development — features living and dining room views of Central Park and a fully-equipped Smallbone kitchen.
