So you're not trekking to the beach and you'd rather not strip down to a bathing suit in public view and/or lay out elbow-to-elbow in a NYC public park…

Sounds like you might need your own little private patch of grass.

This $8K per month Cobble Hill condo has 21-foot wide fully-opening bifold glass doors that lead to a private 1,180-square foot back yard with what appears to be a perfectly kept lawn.

This incredible $16-million Lenox Hill townhouse, originally built in 1899, has a two-story glass-enclosed atrium that leads to a gorgeous ground floor planted garden. But one of the most exotic exterior details in this palatial dream home--which was also this year's Kips Bay Decorator Show House--is the outdoor bathtub on a (hopefully) private fifth-floor terrace.

Tar beach, schmar beach.

This Greenwich Village condo building on West 12th Street has twelve 3-4 bedroom condos (a four-bedroom is currently available for rent for $32,500 per month) , but the crown jewel is a generous shared roof deck with a 50-foot lap pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, workout and meditation space and an entertainment area with a built-in kitchen (complete with two grills). 

It took F'd in Park Slope founder Erica Reitman a few steps to get to Park Slope, Brooklyn.

She grew up in the suburbs of Long Island, moved with her family to Florida when she was 13 (which she describes as the equivalent of hell on earth), went on to college in Washington, D.C., then moved to L.A. for a few years, and then Manhattan, before moving to Park Slope in 2006.

We recently featured an amazing outdoor space, and this week we're going indoors.

This stunning corner townhouse on Greenwich Street has 15-rooms, two kitchens (one has an adorable French countryside feel), multiple sitting and dining rooms, a landscaped roof and an entire north-facing wall of glass, and a $17.5 million pricetag…wow!

This $27.5 million Greenwich Village Greek Revival-style townhouse, originally built in 1844, has floor-to-ceiling windows, mahogany pocket doors and herringbone floors.

There are 21 rooms…yes, TWENTY-ONE…including seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Not to mention multiple outdoor spaces and a fully finished cellar with 8’ ceilings.
