If you’d like to live in a grand Upper West Side mansion for less than $1 million, this four-room co-op at 280 West End Avenue rises to the occasion. Built in 1887, the stately Romanesque Revival mansion–once the home of the son and widow of President Ulysses S. Grant, according to the listing–holds the $839,000 key to Manhattan mansion living in the form of a one-bedroom home with an elegantly rounded bay window.

The apartment–up two flights of winding stairway from the lobby–has retained its turn-of-the-century charm, anchored by the dramatic turret that surrounds the main living space with four tall windows.

Additional details include ten-and-a-half-foot ceilings, mahogany paneling, figured oak herringbone floors, and decorative plaster moldings. Beyond beauty, the gracefully curved windows bring in plenty of sunlight and offer views over West End Avenue and nearby Riverside Park.

A pass-through kitchen has stone worktops and plenty of cabinets. Past the kitchen is a windowed dining nook with built-in shelving, decorative wall covering, and an antique chandelier.

Around the corner, a spacious bedroom with beautifully restored doors and shelving gets plenty of light. A large tiled bath has the home’s signature restored vintage charm.

The pet-friendly seven-unit converted mansion offers central laundry (washers and dryers are allowed in unites) and basement storage.

Recent building improvements include a visual intercom and safety surveillance system, new roofing, and modern electrical service to individual units.
