America's Most Expensive Homes

When the sale of the One57 penthouse closed last month, it nudged New York's white-hot condo market past the $100M threshold. With the luxury market sizzling across the country, here are some of the finest trophy properties in America's biggest markets.

Palazzo di Amore, Beverly Hills

List price: $195M

Seller: Real estate mogul Jeff Greene, whose holdings span California, Manhattan and Palm Beach (where, fun fact, he once worked as a busboy at the Breakers).

Square footage: 53K

Most outrageous perk: The 27-car garage is nothing to sneeze at but pales in comparison to the 25-acre estate's very own vineyard, producing an annual 5,000 cases of Syrah, Cabernet and Sauvignon blanc.

La Brisa, Coconut Grove

List price: $65M

Price appreciation: The current owner, an architect, scooped up the 1920s classic for a mere $11.5M back in 2008.

Square footage: 17K

Most outrageous perk: A private port with the capacity to hold a 70-foot yacht.

2701 Broadway, San Francisco

List price: $39M

Sellers: Chef Roxanne Klein, a superstar of the raw food movement, and husband Michael Klein of Modulus Guitars fame.

Square footage: 16K

Most outrageous perk: There's an indoor basketball court, but compared to other entries on the list this standout on Pacific Heights' Billionaires' Row is a model of S.F. understatement...except when it comes to those bay views.

2320 S St, Washington, DC

List price: $22M

Square footage: 27K across two buildings that for nearly 90 years housed the Textile Museum.

Seller: The museum recently moved into roomier digs on the George Washington University campus.

Most outrageous perk: Stately grounds and living quarters aside, the ultimate bragging right is living in a home designed by John Russell Pope, the mastermind behind the Jefferson Memorial and National Gallery.
