After a little over a month on the market, Lena Horne’s former apartment has found a buyer for the asking price.
The late Broadway icon’s former Upper East Side perch traded hands for the $2.19 million it asked for when it went public in October.
The buyer, top CORE broker Emily Beare, pulled the device after 38 days on the market, public records show. (It went on contract at the end of November.)
Beare had no further comment when asked about the purchase.
The lavish Manhattan unit measures approximately 2,100 square feet and comes with a monthly maintenance fee of nearly $6,000, according to StreetEasy.
Brooklyn-born Horne — who had an illustrious career as an entertainer and civil rights activist before passing away in 2010 at age 92 — moved into the building in the early 1980s and lived there until her death, The Post previously reported.
The unit was previously a separate bedroom and studio, but Horne combined the two in the expansive space that remained her sanctuary.
Horne’s daughter, the journalist Gail Buckley, inherited the two-bath fifth-floor residence after Horne’s death — and it was Buckley who brought the device to market in the fall.
“The apartment features original oak hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and unique appliances,” the Corcoran Group advertised the apartment at the time. There is also an oversized eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and a massive 450 [square foot] suite with first bedroom.”
The listing further stated that the kitchen was recently updated and has a separate breakfast nook.
Just steps from Central Park, the 23 E. 74th St. building, known as the Volney, was once a historic hotel before being converted into a co-op.
In addition to Horne, the humorist Dorothy Parker once called the building her home, until she died there in 1967.
