About This Home
As of February 2025Just half a block from Central Park, The Capitol sits ideally between 5th and Madison Avenues on 87th Street. 6A is a gracious, split two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with streaming light, generous room proportions and tall ceilings up to 9'9". This stately home awaits a new chapter, the perfect project for the next owner to imagine a fresh take on pre-war charm.
An entry foyer with coat closet leads to a wide reception gallery perfect to hang art and design a seating moment. The combination living/dining room has exquisite custom bookcases, a fireplace, and large windows facing North, all overlooking the treetops of 87th Street. The windowed kitchen has extensive storage and an eat-in breakfast bar. The primary bedroom also faces North over 87th Street with a grand dressing area, walk-in-closet and en-suite bath. Completing this lovely home is a second bedroom, facing South, with ample closet space and its own en-suite bath.

Washer/dryers, pied-a-terre use, sublets, gifting, co-purchasers, LLC purchases, parents buying for children, and guarantors are all considered on a case-by-case basis.
