In the spirit of graduation season, we’re handing out a few superlatives of our own—real estate style. Think of it this way: if these homes were in a yearbook, they’d be the ones everyone remembered, and everyone signed with an actual paragraph, not just “never change, have a great summer.” These are a few picks from this year’s graduating class at Brown Harris Stevens High—seven homes that earned a fun little shout-out in the yearbook’s superlative section.
Most Likely to be the Backdrop of a Nancy Meyer's Film
77 Jericho Road - Village of East Hampton, NY
With its classic shingled exterior, sun-drenched interiors, and a kitchen that practically begs for homemade croissants, this East Hampton estate is pure Nancy Meyers charm. From the bluestone patio to the cozy, polished living spaces, every corner feels like a scene waiting to happen.
Most Likely to be Mistaken for a Boutique Hotel
1689 Broadway Rte 9W - West Park, New York
Perched above the Hudson River, this 1828 Greek Revival estate, known as Aberdeen, has the kind of charm and presence you usually find in a beautifully restored boutique hotel. With nine working fireplaces and interiors that blend classic character with quiet luxury, it’s easy to picture a weekend here complete with kayaking, an honor bar, and someone handing you a vintage room key.
Most Likely to Inspire a Coffee Table Book
1305 Albemarle Road - Prospect Park South, New York
This 1905 Colonial Revival mansion in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park South looks like it was made to be photographed. From its columned front porch and coffered ceilings to the soaring former ballroom turned speakeasy-style entertaining space, every inch of this home feels like a future full-page spread. In 1908, it hosted more than 300 guests for live music and grand revelry—and it hasn’t stopped making an impression since.
Most Likely to Go Viral on TikTok
180 East 88th Street - Apartment #PH44
With soaring ceilings, sweeping city views, and a marble-and-brass kitchen that’s almost too pretty to cook in, this Upper East Side penthouse was made for a slow pan. One look and the comments write themselves.
Most Likely to Stand the Test of Time
1 West 123rd Street - South Harlem, NYC
Built in 1890 and honored with the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award, this Gilded Age Harlem townhouse was made to last in both structure and spirit. With windows on three sides, a series of oval rooms, and a thoughtful restoration by architect Samuel G. White, it’s a home that honors its history and leaves room for the next chapter.
Most Likely to Host Thanksgiving
11 Round Hill Club Road - Greenwich, Connecticut
The butler’s pantry with its custom wine cabinets leads to a spacious dining room made for entertaining, while the light-filled kitchen and double-height family room keep the holiday energy flowing. And with six bedrooms plus a guest house, there’s plenty of room for family flying in, driving up, or just staying longer than planned.
Most Likely to be the Life of the Party
1460 S Ocean Blvd - Manalapan, Florida
With two pools (yes, one indoors), ocean views from the moment you step inside, and a full entertainment kitchen backed by a chef’s prep kitchen, this Manalapan estate isn’t just hosting the party—it is the party. And whether guests arrive by boat or decide to drive, the 16-car ground-floor parking has it covered.
Class dismissed.
