ELEGANT 4 BEDROOM COOPERATIVE STEPS FROM CENTRAL PARK

Perched on one of Lenox Hill’s most distinguished blocks, nestled elegantly between Fifth and Madison Avenues, this residence at The Volney commands nearly the entire 8th floor of this storied pre-war cooperative. A home of rare scale and grace, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence blends the romance of Old New York with the sophistication of a meticulous modern renovation.

From the semi-private landing, a sense of arrival unfolds. A grand 25 foot corner living room is bathed in natural light from oversized windows framing iconic city exposures. High coffered ceilings, flowing proportions, and refined finishes evoke both volume and intimacy in perfect measure.

At the heart of the home lies a newly reimagined chef’s kitchen by Bilotta Kitchens, designed with artistry and purpose. Custom Cosentino slab countertops and backsplash pair with Wolf, Miele, and Thermador appliances, creating a space where form meets function seamlessly. The adjacent dining room comfortably accommodates gatherings of every size, framed by bespoke finishes and elegant proportions.

Tucked away in a separate wing, a spacious media room with its own exclusive planting terrace offers the ultimate private retreat, ideal for screening, quiet relaxation, or informal entertaining apart from the formal living spaces.

The private quarters are thoughtfully separate. The corner primary suite is a sanctuary, its marble clad en-suite bath offering radiant heated floors, a glass-enclosed shower, and a bespoke double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, each with their own full marble bathrooms (with heated floors), generous closets, and abundant natural light.

Throughout the home, every detail has been considered: soundproof windows, elegant moldings, split-air conditioning, herringbone hardwood floors, custom media closet, and the convenience of an in-unit washer/dryer. Additional luxuries include a double storage unit and separate luggage locker.

The Volney Building is an Italian Renaissance palazzo brought into the present day, distinguished by its limestone façade, landscaped entry, and wood-paneled lobby. Full-time doormen, a live-in resident manager, and superintendent ensure white glove service. Residents enjoy a landscaped rooftop with sweeping views, laundry, and storage. The cooperative is pet friendly, allows pied-à-terre, and permits purchase via trusts and LLCs, with subletting after one year.

Steps from Madison Avenue’s boutiques, world-class dining, five-star hotels, private clubs and premier cultural institutions, this residence is move-in ready and is an opportunity to inhabit the very best of the Upper East Side.
