Description
This rarely available apartment in a unique neo-Renaissance building has elegance and character to spare-and a 240 square foot private terrace. Located between Fifth and Madison Avenues on a quiet crosstown street just steps from Central Park and Museum Mile in Carnegie Hill, this distinguished building with a white glazed terracotta faade was designed by George and Edward Blum and dates from 1910. The apartment is in move-in condition and has a large living room, an extra-large library, a formal dining room, and a windowed chef's kitchen with lots of storage and counter space. There are three bedrooms and two baths, plus a windowed laundry room with a full-size washer and vented dryer. The library can be used as a fourth bedroom and a third bath can be added with board approval (see alternate floorplan).
Most of the 100-year old detail in the apartment is intact, including inlaid oak floors, French windows and doors, high ceilings and two fireplaces. The library has mahogany paneling and antique leaded glass windows and doors opening onto the 14'x17' private terrace.
The Capitol is a pet friendly building with a total of 24 units on 8 floors plus a penthouse. Its lobby has been refurbished. The building has a part-time doorman (12-8PM daily) and a live-in super, and storage space is available in the basement. In addition to Central Park and Museum Mile, the building is close to public transportation with easy crosstown access, as well as many fine restaurants, boutique shops and gourmet markets, including Dean & DeLuca and Whole Foods. The building allows pied-a-terres and up to 65% financing.
