Recently renovated and expertly restored by award-winning interior designer Philip Mitchell, this stunning residence showcases timeless architectural details, including refinished herringbone hardwood floors, beamed high ceilings, and crown molding throughout, highlighting both prestige, as well as privacy.

A true urban sanctuary, the apartment is exceptionally quiet and awash in natural light all day, apparent through the oversized windows in both the gracious living room, as well as in the king-size bedroom.

This thoughtfully renovated apartment features a custom kitchen, replete with stainless steel appliances, Julien professional deep chef sink, custom self-closing drawers, overhead cabinetry on both sides, and marble countertops. This stunning home also boasts bespoke fluted wainscoting, a newly added home office (featuring lovely built-ins/custom shelving), upgraded closets, British-style light switches, a custom banquette, sconces, thick double wooden doors that open to the expansive bedroom, bamboo shades throughout, and through-the-wall air conditioning. The updated bathroom is finished in classic black and white marble, replete with Lefroy Brooks hardware. The apartment also includes a dedicated private storage unit.

The Volney is a distinguished full service, white glove cooperative with an iconic history, having been home to legends such as Dorothy Parker and Lena Horne. A full time doorman, resident manager, and beautifully landscaped roof deck offering sweeping city views, are some wonderful additional building features. Pets and pied-a-terres are permissible, as is subletting after one year. Washer/dryers allowed with Board approval. * No evening nor weekend showings, as per bldg rules* 3% flip tax to be paid by purchaser. A one time operating assessment of $1,130 is due in July; An additional 2026 assessment (approximately $2,184) would be offset by NYC real estate tax abatement credits for primary residents, but would need to be paid by non-primary residents.
