NextImg:Lena Horne’s former Upper East Side ‘personal office’ lists for $1M

Another piece of a late great actress’s real estate portfolio has hit the market. 

In Manhattan, a co-op Lena Horne used as a personal office is looking for a buyer. 

Horne, who passed away in 2010 and is remembered for both her seven-decade career as an entertainer and as a civil rights activist, owned a total of five units within 23 E. 74th St. during her lifetime. She used this one as a workspace. 

(Her other four units in the full-service Upper East Side address, officially known as the Volney, she used as an exercise room, a guest suite and a two-unit primary suite.) 

Gail Lumet Buckley, Horne’s daughter, sold her late mother’s approximately 900-square-foot office to the current owners for $825,000 in 2018. 

Since acquiring it, the current owners have extensively renovated the space — expanding the kitchen, adding custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and a Gaggenau appliance package. 

In addition to its star connection and recent renovation, the apartment also boasts a large living room with a dining area and a custom built-in combination bench and daybed with hidden storage, dual exposures in the bedroom, a walk-in laundry room and hardwood floors throughout. 

The co-op apartment is located on East 74th Street.

“Not only is #5G beautifully-renovated and pristine, it’s a piece of history,” the Corcoran Group’s Jonathan D. Schulz told The Post of the one-bedroom, one-bathroom space. 

Schulz shares the $1.07 million listing with fellow Corcoran agent Jason T. Miller. 

“Lena Horne was a trailblazer and an iconic entertainer and my colleague Jason and I are honored to be marketing another part of her legacy,” Schulz added. “The home having this provenance only adds to its unique appeal. It’s a special apartment in a special co-op.” 

The pair previously sold Horne’s primary apartment at the Volney to CORE broker Emily Beare earlier this year for $2.19 million.
