A mid-century condominium in the heart of Murray Hill

The 155 Condominium, a 20-story high-rise completed in 1960, stands as a testament to mid-century design in the vibrant Murray Hill neighborhood. With 174 units, this full-service building offers a range of living spaces from cozy studios to expansive four-bedroom residences. Its location at 155 East 38th Street places residents at the crossroads of convenience and urban sophistication, just steps away from some of Manhattan's most iconic landmarks and bustling thoroughfares.

Diverse layouts catering to various lifestyles

The 155 Condominium offers a wide array of floor plans to suit different needs and preferences. Studios, ranging from 369 to 746 square feet, provide efficient living spaces with clever storage solutions and, in some cases, alcove areas that can accommodate a queen-sized bed. These compact units, priced around $600,000, often feature renovated kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. One-bedroom apartments, spanning 484 to 746 square feet, offer a bit more space and separation. Priced around $800,000, these units typically include updated kitchens, hardwood floors, and ample closet space. Many boast open layouts that seamlessly blend living and dining areas, perfect for entertaining. Two-bedroom residences, ranging from 680 to 1,493 square feet, provide even more flexibility. With prices around $2,100,000, these homes often feature split bedroom layouts, renovated bathrooms, and spacious living areas. Some units have been thoughtfully combined and renovated to include features like custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances such as Sub-Zero refrigerators and Viking ranges. The larger three-bedroom apartments, spanning 1,173 to 2,200 square feet, offer luxurious living spaces priced around $2,400,000. These residences often include features like wraparound terraces, sunrooms with Empire State Building views, and chef's kitchens with top-of-the-line appliances. Many have been meticulously updated with custom closets, elegant fixtures, and smart home technology. At the pinnacle of luxury are the four-bedroom units, ranging from 556 to 2,142 square feet. These rare offerings provide the ultimate in space and flexibility, with some featuring duplex layouts, multiple terraces, and panoramic city views. Throughout the building, residents enjoy features such as through-wall air conditioning, parquet or hardwood floors, and large windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Many units boast stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, including iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.

Full-service amenities for comfortable city living

The 155 Condominium offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. The building is staffed with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent, ensuring security and prompt assistance for any maintenance needs. Two elevators, including a service elevator, provide convenient access to all floors. For those who enjoy outdoor relaxation, select units feature wraparound terraces equipped with outdoor speakers, custom landscape lighting, and electric retractable awnings. These private outdoor spaces offer a perfect setting for al fresco dining or simply unwinding while taking in the city views. The building houses a newly renovated laundry room, eliminating the need for in-unit laundry facilities or trips to external laundromats. Bicycle enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated bike storage room, a convenient amenity for those who prefer two-wheeled transportation around the city. For residents with vehicles, the on-site garage provides a valuable commodity in a city where parking can be challenging. This feature offers peace of mind and easy access for car owners. The 155 Condominium also offers common storage facilities, subject to availability, providing extra space for residents to store seasonal items or other belongings outside their apartments. Some units in the building feature unique amenities such as smokeless fireplaces, adding a touch of coziness and sophistication to the living spaces.

A vibrant locale with a mix of history and modernity

Murray Hill, home to The 155 Condominium, offers a unique blend of residential charm and urban convenience. This historic neighborhood, named after the Murray family and their 18th-century estate, retains a village-like atmosphere despite its central Manhattan location. The area is characterized by its mix of architectural styles, from Beaux-Arts townhouses to modern high-rises, creating a visually diverse streetscape. Residents of The 155 enjoy proximity to some of New York City's most iconic landmarks. The Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building are within walking distance, offering daily reminders of the city's architectural grandeur. For those seeking cultural enrichment, the Morgan Library & Museum is nearby, housing a world-class collection of rare books and manuscripts. The neighborhood is a food lover's paradise, with a diverse array of dining options. From the upscale steakhouse experience at The Capital Grille to the beloved kosher delicatessen Sarge's, there's something to satisfy every palate. El Parador Café, one of the city's oldest Mexican restaurants, has been a neighborhood staple since the 1960s. For everyday needs, Murray Hill offers convenient shopping options. D'Agostino and Fairway Market provide grocery essentials, while Trader Joe's offers its popular selection of specialty items. The proximity to retail corridors like Fifth Avenue and the Flatiron District means high-end shopping is just a short distance away. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby green spaces. St. Vartan Park, with its basketball courts and playground, offers a local spot for recreation. The East River Esplanade provides a scenic path for joggers and walkers, with stunning views of the East River and the city skyline. The area's central location makes it ideal for those working in Midtown offices or the nearby United Nations headquarters. Despite its proximity to bustling business districts, Murray Hill maintains a residential feel, with tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community, exemplified by events like the annual Murray Hill Neighborhood Association tree lighting ceremony.

Unparalleled access to New York City and beyond

The 155 Condominium's location in Murray Hill provides residents with exceptional transportation options, making it easy to navigate both the city and the wider region. Grand Central Terminal, a mere five-minute walk away, serves as a major transportation hub, offering access to multiple subway lines including the 4, 5, 6, 7, and the 42nd Street Shuttle. This historic station also houses the Metro-North Railroad, providing quick connections to destinations in Upstate New York and Connecticut. For those traveling within Manhattan, the nearby 33rd Street station, about a 10-minute walk from the building, services the 4 and 6 subway lines. These lines offer convenient north-south travel along the east side of Manhattan, connecting residents to destinations from the Upper East Side to Lower Manhattan. The building's central location also puts it within easy reach of other major transportation hubs. Penn Station and Port Authority Bus Terminal are both accessible via a short subway ride or taxi trip, providing connections to New Jersey, Long Island, and destinations throughout the Northeast. For air travel, the building's proximity to major thoroughfares like the FDR Drive and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel allows for relatively quick access to the city's airports. LaGuardia Airport is typically about a 15-minute drive, while John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport can be reached in approximately 25 and 20 minutes respectively, traffic permitting. The neighborhood's high walk score means that many daily errands and activities can be accomplished on foot, reducing the need for frequent use of public transportation or personal vehicles. For those who prefer cycling, the area's bike-friendly infrastructure includes nearby bike lanes and Citi Bike stations, offering an eco-friendly alternative for short trips around the city. The 155 Condominium's on-site parking garage is a valuable amenity for residents who own cars, providing a secure and convenient option in a neighborhood where street parking can be challenging. This feature, combined with the excellent public transportation options, ensures that residents have flexibility in their travel choices, whether commuting within the city or venturing beyond its borders.
