845 West End Ave. #9EF

This sprawling five-bedroom, six-bathroom home feels more like an oversized Santa Barbara ranch than a Manhattan apartment. Extraordinarily large and bright public rooms radiate off an elegant entrance gallery, with slices of the Hudson River visible from many windows. Each bedroom is beautifully proportioned with a private bath. There is an enormous eat-in kitchen, as well as a suburban-style windowed laundry room that could function as a second kitchen. What’s more, the maid’s room has been converted into an incredible mud room with enviable amounts of storage. The apartment has new systems and finishes throughout and is decorated in exquisite taste.

Originally designed by the famed Schwartz & Gross, 845 West End Avenue was completely renovated and revamped by CetraRuddy just a few years ago. This elegant full-service building (home to several notable entertainers, including an Oscar winner who once lived in this apartment) features an exercise room, playroom and a bike room.

Taxes reflect use as a primary residence. As a secondary residence, taxes are $3,400 per month.
