Chelsea $16.9 million On this stretch of West 15th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, this “townhouse of uncommon elegance and scale” also has some special features, starting with the “discreet” gated front court and “classical” limestone façade that “belies” the “fully re-imagined” interior behind it. Altogether, there is 8,400 square feet of space on seven floors, including a finished lower level — but don’t worry, there’s an elevator. The master suite, one of six bedrooms total, occupies the entire fifth floor. In addition, there’s a “dramatic” great room, a “spacious” eat-in kitchen and a formal dining room for “entertaining on almost any scale.” Agents: Brian Babst and Julie Pham, The Corcoran Group, 212-444-7960 and 917-517-8123

Upper West Side $13.5 million What’s better than a “grand” apartment on West End Avenue? Come on, you know the answer: Two grand apartments that have been joined in a “spectacular and seamless combination” to create one 5,000-square-foot co-op with many “doubles” — including a “breathtaking” double entry hall and a “sun-flooded” double living room. In total, there are five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including the master suite with his-and-her bathrooms and a large dressing room. There are enough rooms lying around that one formal dining room is currently set up with a billiards table; a bedroom is used as a home gym; and a library becomes a “Ping-Pong room.” Do with the layout as you wish, but you won’t want to obstruct the “peaceful river and city views from almost every window.” Agents: Ann Cutbill Lenane and Deirdre DeRisi, Prudential Douglas Elliman, 212-769-9862 and 212-769-9824

Bedford Hills, NY $3.35 million Frankly, if you’re in the market for a 1900 Colonial with “classical architecture” that also enjoys “the latest 21st-century amenities,” you really should give a damn about this one, known as “Scarlet Hall.” Set on 2-plus acres, the Westchester mansion has just come through a “complete,” “multiyear” restoration and been returned to its “former glory.” Among improvements to this “eminently comfortable” home are its “finely crafted” stone exterior and slate roof, restored herringbone floors and “stately” fireplaces. The 12,000 square feet of space includes seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. Agents: Cynthia Jaffee and Jennifer Jaffee, Houlihan Lawrence, 914-234-9099, ext. 306 and ext. 355
