1764 First Avenue is a five story rental building in Yorkville, constructed in 1920 and renovated as a boutique collection of 13 residences. Its apartments are primarily two and three bedroom layouts, with high ceilings, recessed lighting, and a restrained monochromatic palette that preserves some of the building’s prewar character while introducing updated interiors.
Apartment finishes include white oak wide plank flooring, custom kitchens with stainless steel appliances and dishwashers, and built out closets in king and queen sized bedrooms. Bathrooms have large tiled spaces, Kohler fixtures, and glass enclosed rainfall showers; some are windowed. Shared washers and dryers are located on each floor, with each laundry area serving three apartments, and video intercoms are provided.
The building is pet friendly and has a live in superintendent. Its Yorkville setting puts Whole Foods, Butterfield Kitchen, Michaeli Bakery, Stella & Fly, and a range of restaurants and bars along First Avenue and nearby streets. Asphalt Green is one block away, while Ruppert Park and Carl Schurz Park are within a few blocks.
Transit is anchored by the Q at 86th Street and 96th Street on Second Avenue, and the 4, 5, and 6 trains at the 86th Street and 96th Street stations on Lexington Avenue. The surrounding area also includes Equinox and New York Sports Club locations, along with local retail and dining on First Avenue.
