Franklin Roosevelt's Law Offices, Now a $2.999 Million Apartment
55 Liberty Street, New York, New York, 10005

While it's unclear exactly where President Franklin D. Roosevelt's office was in 55 Liberty St., one of New York's oldest skyscrapers (built in 1909), it is certain that his law offices were in the building. Which means, since condos replaced the commercial real estate in the 1980s, that there's a 1 in 89 (the number of condo units in the building) chance that you could be sleeping where FDR burned the midnight oil.

This 2,850-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath apartment is on the 25th floor, with views overlooking the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (For the uninitiated, that's where they keep all the gold.) Come home, relax in the apartment's corner living room, then start on your next, presidential, billable hour.
