385 1St Ave

A 21-story condominium completed in 2002 with 109 residences, the property occupies a downtown Manhattan block near Gramercy Park, Madison Square Park and the East Village. The conversion-style building contains primarily one- and two-bedroom homes with high ceilings, oversized windows and open-plan living rooms that emphasize natural light and river or city views. Interiors frequently feature wide oak floors, custom lacquer cabinetry, honed stone countertops, integrated high-end appliances, in-unit washers and vented dryers, generous closet systems and private storage lockers that transfer with sales. Common spaces are designed for social and active use: a 24-hour attended lobby with a live-in resident manager, a private fitness room programmed by a noted trainer, a residents’ lounge, landscaped second-floor terrace with grills and a fully furnished roof deck with panoramic skyline views. Exterior amenity elements include planted roof terraces and limited private outdoor spaces attached to select units. Service and building logistics accommodate urban homeowners with a bike room, on-site management, packages and resident storage; parking is not a defining feature. Pet policies and the exact guest/short-term rental rules follow condominium governing documents. The location places residents within easy walking distance of parks, dining, and transit, supporting a pedestrian, amenity-forward Manhattan lifestyle.
