Prettiest NYC homes that hit the market this week

Every week, Curbed covers dozens of market listings that vary in price, location, size, grandeur, quirkiness, and other distinct characteristics. If they managed to capture our attention, that means there’s definitely something special going on. But some of these homes are so lovely that they warrant a special kind of notoriety as some of the prettiest homes currently up for sale in New York City. And so, here it is: five listing that have that special "je ne sais quoi" that separates them from the rest. Happy gawking!

↑Leave it to Sting to infuse some much-needed character into the typically staid apartments of the Limestone Jesus at 15 Central Park West. The listing pictures for the condo tout a proclivity for Inherent Vice-tinged mod, with its custom Fibonacci-spiral fireplace and Eero Aarnio Ball Chair, and a feeling for color. Read more...

↑For just $550,000, an entire 19th century house is up for grabs in Clifton, Staten Island.
