With a prime Lower East Side location on the most iconic thoroughfare in this historic lower Manhattan neighborhood, 38 Delancey -- located at, yes, 38 Delancey Street -- sits right at the historic heart of the Lower East Side. But while it's surrounded by the pre-war buildings and New York history that makes the Lower East Side the Lower East Side, 38 Delancey is also positioned to be a big part of the Lower East Side's future. One of the elite new condominium listings on the Lower East Side, 38 Delancey sets a standard for luxury condo living in a neighborhood still without much luxury condo development. In a neighborhood best known for its cultural, art and music scenes -- as well as being home to some of Manhattan's hottest restaurants and nightspots -- 38 Delancey stands out as a beacon of high-end NYC condo luxury.

Thanks to a wide diversity of floor plans and a layout that ensures that each condo for sale is a corner condo, the apartments for sale at 38 Delancey are unique not only among Lower East Side listings, but among NYC condos in general. That corner placement guarantees that each apartment for sale at 38 Delancey offers multiple exposures and plenty of natural light. And while the variety of floor plans for the one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom condos makes for an uncommonly customized condo experience, the finishes and fixtures on offer all conform to a high standard. 38 Delancey's high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and open floor plans make for unusually airy apartments, while the red oak hardwood floors offer a classic touch. The gourmet kitchens at 38 Delancey feature state-of-the-art appliances, with an emphasis placed on striking, chic stainless steel; the marble-accented baths are every bit as distinguished. Each apartment for sale at 38 Delancey also offers private outdoor space, in the form of balconies and terraces.

The amenities at 38 Delancey, no less than the apartments for sale, raise the bar for luxury condo living on the Lower East Side. While all the conveniences a luxury condominium should deliver are in evidence at 38 Delancey -- from copious resident storage and on-site parking (for bicycles and cars) to a 24-hour concierge -- the amenities here also go well beyond the ordinary. The common roof deck at 38 Delancey, for instance, is graced by some uncommonly nice Lower East Side views. Desirable 421a tax abatement is another boon to residents. And of course there's 38 Delancey's location itself -- as dead-center a spot on the Lower East Side as can be imagined, and a short walk from the neighborhood's finest restaurants, bars and boutiques, and near enough to the subway to put the rest of Manhattan within easy reach.
