Rooftop cottages in New York come in various styles, from chalets to cape cod and even a lighthouse.
Some of New York's rooftop cottages are architectural gems. For instance, there is a rooftop property in the West Village that comes with its own meadow, according to StreetEasy.
There's also a penthouse on East 36th Street where the owner can see the Empire State Building from their bedroom window, the New York Post reported in 2017.
"There's something about being able to get to a private outdoor space, instead of going to the park," Lee Larson, who owns a rooftop cottage on the Upper West Side, told the Post. "This is a special thing. I never would have guessed it possible in New York."
