Martha Stewart stakes her name on getting everything just right. The price of her fabulous downtown New York City penthouse on Perry Street in the West Village -- which she recently dropped by $2 million -- appears to be an exception. It's now listed at $13.9 million after being offered in February for $15.9 million.

The apartment's 11-foot-high windows give a 360-degree view that includes the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty, as well as Manhattan's skyline. Neighbors include Nicole Kidman and Calvin Klein.

The Richard Meier-designed building includes oodles of amenities, including a keyed elevator that accesses both floors of the condo, a state-of-the-art fitness center and Jean-Georges Vongerichten's acclaimed restaurant, Perry Street.
Then again, her loft's more than 5,000 square feet are probably right at any price. Read on to see amazing shots of Stewart's fab pad.

    No, I'm holding out for an even better deal.2856 (18.9%)
    Nope. It's a renter's life for me.4013 (26.6%)
