Upper East Side
$6.825 million
Central Park ain’t got nothing on this Fifth Avenue family home – at least according to the flyer, which claims that both the condo’s views and its planted terrace “rival Central Park.” That’s a pretty tall order, but it is a rather fabulous pad: Arranged as a two-bedroom (including a massive master suite), the apartment’s second bedroom could be turned into a media or entertainment room (it’s got a wet bar and a wine cellar) and a library that could be a third bedroom. There’s a formal dining room, new kitchen, three full marble bathrooms and a separate maid’s room (with bath) on a different level. But the 2,000 square feet of interior space is, literally, only about the half of it – don’t forget about that 1,450-square-
foot terrace!

Chelsea
$3.5 million
The loft-like proportions of this massive condo may be why it’s been labeled “TriBeCa in Chelsea.” With 16-foot ceilings, 10-foot-tall windows and a 34-foot-long living room, the three-bedroom, 21/2-bathroom spread more than lives up to the hype, especially considering the additional 250-square-foot private terrace. It’s so spacious, in fact, that there’s actually a mezzanine level, which could work well as an executive office, fourth bedroom or even a private screening room (“TriBeCa Film Festival in Chelsea,” perhaps?).

Bronxville, N.Y.
$3.4 million
With this “magnificent” five-bedroom, four-plus-bathroom Tudor built in the 21st century (2003 to be exact), you’ll get many of the elaborate details and luxury finishes that you might expect in a home from another era. The grand cathedral entrance opens to a “sweeping” staircase and large reception foyer. Beyond, you’ll find the formal dining room, which can accommodate large, traditional dinner parties, and an “elegant” living room that doubles as a “music room.” But the grandest room in the 4,900-square-foot home might be the 65-foot-long kitchen with a 16-foot center island and top-of-the-line appliances, including three dishwashers.

Setauket, L.I.
$4.495 million
Finding this “fabulous” waterfront compound should be easy enough – just let conscience be your guide. More specifically, look for Conscience Bay – you’ll have a beautiful view of it from the covered bluestone back porch of this three-story, five-bedroom, four-bathroom frame home. The centerpiece is the two-level library with fireplace, but be mindful of the master bedroom – which also has its own fireplace and a new en-suite bathroom. The home offers three spacious decks that look out over the nearly 2 acres of grounds, which feature an in-ground gunite swimming pool, tennis court, children’s garden and a private dock on the bay.
