Looks like actor Ben Stiller has put his 4,000 sf, 5 BR, 5.5 BA Upper West Side duplex on the market (floorplan & photos galore below).

He and wife Christine Taylor paid $10 million for the apartment at 118 Riverside Drive (at 84th) in 2008 and are listing it for $9.6 million.

The Daily News has the details:

The couple bought the home through a trust in 2008 for $10 million from Ann Zabar, part of the famous uptown gourmet grocery family, according to New York City property records.

The five bedroom home is on the corner of Riverside Drive and West 84th Street and has sweeping Hudson River views and interiors designed by swanky firm Roman & Williams. Even the family maid could have a sweet setup, with a riverfront room behind the kitchen with a full bath, laundry room and service entrance, according to the listing.

The master suite sounds posh, with cherry walls, silk carpeting and a spa bathroom with green mosaic tile. Another bonus of living where a movie star has? A decked-out professional media screening room.

Real Estalker, which first posted the news, has even more information.

The apartment is listed through Prodential Douglas Elliman. In addition to the $9.6 million asking price, monthly maintenance is $7,083 ($84,996/year).

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DUPLEX ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE

Spectacular 5-bedroom, 5½-bath apartment with glorious river views, every amenity, and impeccable Roman and Williams design in a pre-War full-service building on the corner of Riverside Drive and West 84th Street.

The upper floor features an enormous sun-flooded living room; a large eat-in cook’s kitchen with banquette, Viking professional oven, two dishwashers, and a large Sub-Zero refrigerator; a full professional media screening room with sound attenuation and an en-suite windowed full bath; a wet bar room with sink, U-Line refrigerator-freezer-ice drawer, and electronic equipment storage; an entry foyer with powder room; and a proper riverfront maid’s room behind the kitchen with adjacent full bath, laundry room, and service entrance.

The lower level has private quarters, most with river views. The master bedroom includes tambored cherry walls, silk carpeting, a magnificent spa bathroom with steam shower and gorgeous mosaic tile floors, and a cherry master walk-in closet. Three other large bedrooms are on this floor, two with en-suite baths.

Each level can be accessed by elevator separately, but the duplex is connected internally by a beautiful white lacquer and batten stairwell. Extraordinary finishes are evident everywhere, in wall work, pocket doors, built-ins, and floors.

The building is a co-operative with a 24-hour doorperson and two elevators.
