Description

Rare opportunity to buy an apartment on a prime Central Park block in a Pre-war building with a BRAND NEW, NEVER LIVED IN, renovation. This two bedroom, two bathroom apartment was gut renovated to the studs. Every single thing is new and tremendous attention has been paid to the details. The sun streams in from the east, south and north facing windows into the open concept living/dining/kitchen area. The finishes and construction are all high-end. The bathrooms have Toto toilets. Hansgrohe fixtures, Carrera marble tiling and deep sink custom vanities. One bathroom is windowed. This apartment has brand new central air conditioning with 3 zones, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The living area has high beamed ceilings with recessed lighting. The kitchen is a chef's dream with beautiful cabinetry and high-end Bosch and Fisher-Paykel appliances. This apartment transfers with TWO private storage units. An in-unit Washer/Dryer is permitted with Board approval. The Volney at 23 East 74th Street is a full-service co-op located between Madison and Fifth Avenue, only a half block from Central Park, Frick Madison, Caravaggio, Apple and so much more. Considered to be one of the prettiest UES blocks, this former hotel was built in the Italian-Renaissance-palazzo style in the 1920’s and was home to notable artists like Dorothy Parker and Lena Horne. The Volney was converted from a residential hotel in 1985 to a co-op. The façade is limestone and the elegant marble entry and wood paneled lobby welcomes you home. This boutique, white glove building has a 24 hour doorman and live-in Resident Manager. The amenities include a planted shared rooftop terrace with lovely views, a laundry room and storage. 65% financing permitted . Pied-a-terre purchases are permitted. 3% Flip Tax paid by Buyer.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
