23 East 74th Street, 15-A

NEW TO MARKET! This stunning, triple mint corner 2-bedroom 2-bathroom home has been gut renovated to perfection with no expense spared. A glorious union of prewar architecture and modern upgrades which include 3-zone central air conditioning and high-tech soundproofing throughout, Residence 15A at the Volney at 23 East 74th Street is a high-floor oasis drenched in natural light pouring in from 7 windows, showcasing beautiful city views to the South and East. A perfect pied-a-terre or full-time residence, this home is ideally situated on a prime park block at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 74th Street in a full-service luxury prewar cooperative.

In the living/dining room, high cross-beamed ceilings overhead have been equipped with dimmable recessed lighting, a feature that can be found throughout the entire home. Beneath your feet, gorgeous new herringbone hardwood floors accentuate the prewar atmosphere, warmed by brilliant natural light from two large double-hung windows overlooking East 74th Street to the South. There are electronic shades here, as there are throughout the apartment.

The kitchen has been exquisitely finished by Smallbone of Devizes with rich tiger wood soft-close custom cabinetry that provides dramatic contrast to the white statuary marble countertops and backsplash as well as marble flooring below. There is a Gaggenau range and oven that vents to the exterior as well as a Subzero refrigerator with double freezer drawer and icemaker. The elegant hardware is by Hansgrohe.

Enveloping the southeast corner of the building, the primary suite repeats the cross-beamed ceilings and herringbone floors found in the living room and is complete with a large customized closet and sensational windowed en-suite bathroom clad in floor-to-ceiling marble. There is a Toto washlet, oversized marble vanity with Kallista sink as well as a glass-enclosed double walk-in shower equipped with pressure boosters for an added touch of top-of-the-line performance and luxury.

At the opposite end of the apartment divided by the living room, the second bedroom faces South with unobstructed open city views and currently has two sets of custom built-in bunkbeds, fabulously designed with built-in storage and encased televisions in each. The second bathroom sits adjacently, servicing both the second bedroom as well as guests when entertaining and is every bit as immaculately finished as the primary one, with floor-to-ceiling marble and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with boosted water pressure and a built-in storage nook. Just outside the bathroom is built-in shelving for extra storage and there is a huge, customized walk-in closet at the apartment's entry as well as a storage bin in the building's basement which transfers with the sale.

The Volney Residences at 23 East 74th Street is a classically elegant full-service cooperative built in 1929 and converted from a residence hotel in 1985.

Located on one of the most desirable blocks of the prime Upper East Side, the Volney is moments away from Central Park, the new Frick Madison Museum and the fabulous shopping and dining experiences which epitomize life on the prime Upper East Side. Financing is allowed up to 65%, subletting, pieds-a-terre and pets are permitted, and there is a flip tax of 3%.
