Description
Converted to a cooperative in 1985, The Volney showcases a stately limestone façade, landscaped...The Volney Residences at 23 East 74th Street is one of the Upper East Side’s most distinguished full-service cooperatives, ideally situated between Madison and Fifth Avenue on one of the neighborhood’s most beautiful tree-lined blocks. Originally built in the 1920s in the elegant Italian Renaissance palazzo style, this former residence hotel has welcomed notable residents including Dorothy Parker and Lena Horne.
Converted to a cooperative in 1985, The Volney showcases a stately limestone façade, landscaped entrance, canopied awning, and an elegant wood-paneled lobby that reflects its timeless prewar character. Residents enjoy white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman, a beautifully furnished rooftop terrace, a newly renovated laundry room, and the charm of original architectural details throughout.
A Rare Opportunity
An exceptional offering to purchase two adjacent one-bedroom residences, creating the opportunity to design a remarkable custom home with two or three bedrooms.

Architectural highlights include soaring 10-foot beamed ceilings, hardwood and herringbone floors, and classic prewar proportions. Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with marble, onyx, deep soaking tubs, and refined European-inspired finishes. Unit 4F Bathroom maintains a window.
The apartments currently offer two separate entrances and two kitchenettes, allowing the next owner to preserve the existing layout or create a seamless custom residence. 4F Residence has elegant features such as french doors, sconces, wall to wall mirror, decorative walls, curved walls, dimmer lighting, 9' ceilings and a beautiful outlook of trees.
