If the Village People saw this luxury condo in the landmark YMCA building on West 23rd Street, they might agree that it’s a very fun place to stay. With 15-foot ceilings, 3,570 square feet of space, three “oversized” bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms, this home has plenty of space to hang out with all the boys (and girls, too). You’ll love the custom surround sound and fully computerized widescreen multimedia touch display that controls iPods, cable and DVDs throughout the loft. Of course, this might not be a place you can go when you’re short on your dough, but thanks to the European-designed stainless-steel kitchen with Sub-Zero glass refrigerator, Gaggenau oven and Viking stovetop, you’ll be definitely be able to have a good meal.

If you were going to build an ideal Westchester home on an acre of ideal Westchester land, this is probably how you would do it. This “spectacular” home measures 11,000 square feet, generously distributed among 14 rooms, including seven bedrooms, a double-height entryway, a living room with a fireplace, a family room, a formal dining room and a “showcase” kitchen. Also included are a balcony, a slate terrace and a three-car garage. OK, so there isn’t a swimming pool, but the perfectly flat surrounding parcel of land would make adding one easy.

Cove Neck, LI
$3.775 million
There are beach cottages, and then there are beach houses – but this “fabulous” waterfront home (sitting directly beside Long Island Sound) is practically a beach mansion. Built in 1880, the classic seven-bedroom, six-plus-bath residence on more than 4 acres of land maintains most of its original details, including covered porches that offer direct views of Centre Island, Oyster Bay Harbor and Cove Neck. Of course, you can always wander down to the 375 feet of private sandy beach and enjoy the water views from there, or head right out into the water on the boat you’ll keep in the private boathouse. (There’s also a detached three-car garage for your land-based transportation.)
