Spread over five levels, this historic Upper West Side townhouse has been revitalised by famed architect Suchi Reddy. As a result, we found this to be a fantastic base to return to after forays into the city, with plenty of space to branch out and relax in the minimalist interior. With there being no lift, guests will need to be able to climb stairs here. While the outdoor spaces aren't on par with the interior, the shaded garden lets kids tire themselves out before bedtime. You're just one block from Central Park, and there are a plethora of museums within a few miles radius.

*This home is spread over three floors, in addition to the garden and roof level.
