Property Description for 23 East 74th Street, 10-A
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.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
