The Volney Residences at 23 East 74th Street is a distinguished full-service cooperative nestled between Madison and Fifth Avenues, on one of the Upper East Side’s most charming and picturesque blocks. Originally built in the 1920s in the Italian Renaissance palazzo style, this elegant limestone building once served as a residence hotel and was home to notable figures such as Dorothy Parker. It was converted into a cooperative in 1985. A landscaped walkway and canopied entrance lead to a richly appointed, wood-paneled lobby that sets the tone for this gracious and intimate building. The Volney offers white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident manager. Spanning 16 stories and approximately 52 units, this boutique co-op features classic prewar details and a variety of flexible layouts. Amenities include a beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace with sweeping views, a resident laundry room, and dedicated storage. The Volney permits 65% financing and welcomes pied-à-terre ownership, purchases through trusts or LLCs (subject to board approval), and subletting after one year. The building is also pet-friendly and allows washer/dryer installations with board consent.
