Description
Elegant apartments, high-class amenities, and a feeling of community have made the Capitol at Chelsea one of the most desirable buildings for living in Chelsea.
Kitchens in all units are beautifully designed with granite countertops and imported porcelain tile floors, and they are equipped with top appliances in a white-on-white color scheme. The bathroom floors and vanity tops are South American marble, and the bathtub is made of Italian marble. Certain units also come with a private outdoor terrace.
The Capitol encourages healthy living and socialization in the building through their common areas. The Capitol Club, the building’s fitness center, is stocked with Cybex exercise equipment and even has its own outdoor terrace. The nearby Antique Café serves coffee, tea, and a full menu, and residents can enjoy their coffee outdoors on the Capitol’s lovely plaza.
Upstairs, the building’s rooftop terrace is perfect for outdoor parties and relaxing in the sun. Wireless internet is also available in all common areas, so residents can work, send e-mails, or pay their online bills from any of the building’s numerous common areas.
Picky eaters will not go hungry with nearby eateries offering everything from pizza and barbeque to French, Thai, and Mediterranean cuisine. For those looking for evening entertainment, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre stages live improv shows every night of the week and regularly hosts guest stars from Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The nearby Atlantic Theater Company produces award-winning plays, musicals, and family entertainment including the Tony-winning musical Spring Awakening.
