1355 1st Ave Floor 22, New York, NY 10021

Perfectly positioned to connect with the city's fabric and energy without being lost to gratuitous elevation, Apartment 22 offers a living experience that defies the banal "luxury condo" label, and is certain to surprise and please even the most demanding buyer. With a private elevator landing, 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, this is not just a residence; it is a vantage point to diversified urban architecture with a blend of depth and distance that nearly evokes a metropolitan sense of softly undulating hills. The unit has been cherished by a single owner who executed subtle improvements that lend a more classic sensibility. The master bedroom is a coveted corner primary suite configured to capture the tapestry of its exterior surrounds, from the historic to the modern, low rise to sleek, and residential to commercial. The other three bedrooms feature en suite baths and wonderful light. Ceilings are 10 feet throughout the home. Light Matters: While newer developments are restricted by modern energy efficiency codes that limit glass permeability, this home boasts expansive windows with grandfathered glazing. These panes allow a level of light saturation and a tactile connection to the outdoors that newer builds simply can no longer offer. Quadruple exposures provide a shifting palette throughout the day. The result is a home bathed in a golden, "old-world" warmth that makes more contemporary glass towers feel clinical by comparison. A Masterstroke of Space and Value Offered at $5,475,000, this listing represents an entry point into one of Manhattan's most authentic and full-service neighborhoods. Having originally traded at a much higher price, the current figure reflects a strategic opportunity for a discerning buyer to capture extraordinary value in a market where inventory has tightened by 2% year-over-year. Because this is a re-sale the purchaser avoids the heavy burden of sponsor closing costs typical of new developments. The sale also includes a voluminous private storage unit at no additional cost. The Building The building is serviced by an incredibly attentive and caring staff. The fitness center was upgraded in 2025, and there are no assessments. Critically, 1355 is operationally mature, running seamlessly, and past the uncertain challenges typical of a condominium board in transition. Redefining Convenience If you've previously excluded First Avenue from your search area, Apartment 22 will quickly alter your conception of convenience. This location offers the serenity of a residential enclave, the efficiency of the Second Avenue Q train, with its modern elevator service, to the west, and a world class healthcare complex to the east. Logistics: A parking garage sits directly adjacent to the building, and returning home from weekend escapes to the north is easy via the FDR Drive exit at 71st Street. Essentials: Bank of America and Chase branches are within a half-block, and Walgreen's sits across the avenue, making errands effortless, while B & B Bagels on the northeast corner is sure to become a favorite. To own Apartment 22 will be, quite simply, a pleasure and a privilege. Contact us today to schedule a private tour.
