About the Listing 7222 - 69374

Perfectly positioned between Fifth and Madison Avenues, Residence 10A is a serene, high-floor one-bedroom at The Volney, offering a sophisticated blend of pre-war detail and contemporary refinement on one of the Upper East Side’s most sought-after blocks. The apartment’s quiet, south-facing exposure high above East 74th Street fills the home with gentle natural light throughout the day, giving the space an inviting warmth and ease. Fully and thoughtfully renovated, the residence pairs the quiet grace of 1920s architecture with a clean, contemporary sensibility. A gracious entry foyer—complete with coat closet and arched opening—leads to a generously scaled living and dining room with nearly nine-foot beamed ceilings, custom lighting, and beautifully restored herringbone oak floors, along with three custom-built closets providing generous storage throughout. The proportions strike a graceful balance between openness and intimacy, creating a home equally suited to entertaining or quiet retreat. The thoughtfully designed wrap kitchen features custom cabinetry, ample storage, quartz countertops, and a full suite of paneled Bosch appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and Bertazzoni range. The spacious, south-facing bedroom is bright and tranquil, comfortably accommodating a king-sized bed and additional furnishings. Its en-suite bathroom features marble hexagon tile flooring, a marble-top vanity with storage, polished nickel fixtures, and the original porcelain tub preserved with care. Built in 1929 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1983, The Volney Residences at 23 East 74th Street is a full-service, white-glove building offering 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, laundry facilities, and an intimate landscaped roof terrace. The cooperative allows up to 65% financing, is pet-friendly, and permits pied-à-terres, subletting after one year, and in-unit washer/dryer installations with board approval. Located just moments from Central Park and the boutiques, galleries, and cafés of Madison Avenue, Residence 10A embodies the elegance and ease of classic Upper East Side living—an ideal pied-à-terre or primary home in an incomparable location. Please note there is a 3% flip tax paid by buyer and The Volney does not allow for weekend showings. ***Some listing photos are virtually staged.***
