Description

Investor Friendly- unlimited subletting permitted. Loft Perfection. Comprising over 4,100 square feet of sunny living space in one of Chelsea's most iconic prewar buildings, this stunning, full-floor, mint-condition loft includes three-bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a formal den, home office and a massive great room creating the perfect layout for any occasion. The modern chef's kitchen, measuring over 23 feet in width, comes replete with the finest appliances including an 8 burner Wolfe range, pot filler faucet, Wolfe Oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Sub-Zero refrigerated drawers, two Miele dishwashers, two wine refrigerators and two sinks.

An enormous slab marble island with seating for 8 and custom mill-worked cabinetry above and below completes this culinary masterpiece. Adjacent is a formal dining area that comfortably seats 14. The sprawling great room is illuminated by abundant natural light from massive bronze encased curved windows, hand-forged in 1925 and beautifully preserved. A gas fireplace with a white marble surround and soaring 11-foot ceilings add to the architectural prowess of this impressive loft.

The primary bedroom suite is pin drop quiet and boasts thoughtful details including a fireplace, a large walk-in-closet with customized millwork and a beautifully renovated five fixture ensuite bathroom swathed in limestone slab. Two other generously proportioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are large enough to be primary suites in most other properties. A large den/home office is accessed through beautifully crafted custom steel casement doors and offers flexible use with its own ensuite bathroom.

Additional details of this magnificent home include wide plank oak hardwood floors, 11-foot beamed ceilings, a separate laundry room with Bosch washer & dryer, endless storage and customized audio throughout. And with one of the lowest monthly maintenance fees found anywhere in Manhattan in a building that allows subletting, this home also suits the most discerning investor's needs. The Capitol Building is a stunning boutique prewar building built in 1926. The supremely attentive full-time superintendent delivers the morning newspapers and receives packages.

Relax on the beautiful rooftop taking in breathtaking NYC views. Conveniently located near Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Fairway Market, subways (1, C, E, F, M), restaurants, galleries, and shopping. Attention CONDO buyers: flexible coop which permits immediate unlimited sublets, live/work, investors, foreign buyers, Pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, and gifting.

Pet-friendly too! Luxury living at its finest.
