This supremely stylish triplex is located in the American Thread Building—a National Historic Landmark in New York City’s TriBeCa neighborhood. Built in 1896, the prewar gem—a study in Renaissance revival elegance—was later converted to luxury residences, which are now among the most coveted in Manhattan.

During a 2007 renovation of the 8,000-square-foot triplex, developers discovered a mural by the late Pop artist, Keith Haring, hidden behind a wall. The work, which is now prominently featured, was created in 1978 for Haring’s student show at the School of Visual Arts, which used the building as a gallery space.

While it’s hard to beat a recently discovering Haring mural, the home features an array of magnificent details, including a great room with sky-high ceilings, original cast-iron columns, a wood-burning fireplace, and a wall of dramatic arched windows. Another hallmark of the house is the curving custom steel staircase that leads to an intimate mezzanine/library that looks out over the living space below.

This Italianate estate in Detroit’s historic Boston-Edison neighborhood has been home to a number of high-profile figures over the past century. Built for the Swedish-born lumber baron, Nils Michelsen, in 1917, the residence later belonged to Steve “Pablo” Davis, an artist who worked on Diego Rivera’s iconic Detroit Industry murals, and Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, who owned the estate from 1967 until 2002. The home’s most recent owner oversaw an award-winning restoration of the stunning residence.
