If you are sure you are going to get at most a single element that passed the filter (which is guaranteed by your filter), you can use findFirst :

Optional o = id1.entrySet()
                      .stream()
                      .filter( e -> e.getKey() == 1)
                      .map(Map.Entry::getValue)
                      .findFirst();

In the general case, if the filter may match multiple Lists, you can collect them to a List of Lists :

List list = id1.entrySet()
                     .stream()
                     .filter(.. some predicate...)
                     .map(Map.Entry::getValue)
                     .collect(Collectors.toList());
