Penthouse B at Ѕteіner Εaѕt Vіllаge With interiοrѕ bу rеnownеd designer Paris Forino and exterior designed by S9 Architecture, Penthouse B at Steiner East Village is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom plus powder room, single-level floor-through penthouse, with 843 square feet of private outdoor space, and protected views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. The residence combines architectural character with modern comfort in one of New York's most culturally rich neighborhoods. Positioned on the top floor and one of only three residences on its Penthouse elevator wing, the home offers exceptional privacy, abundant natural light from north and south exposures, and ceiling heights up to 15 feet 6 inches. The residence flows through beautifully proportioned spaces that connect indoors and out. The north-facing living and dining area opens onto a private garden terrace through bronze-framed casement doors that frame views of the Midtown skyline, including the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. The terrace extends the living space and is ideal for morning light, evening gatherings, or quiet retreat. At dusk, the skyline creates a striking backdrop as the towers of Midtown catch the light. To the south, all three bedrooms overlook a serene, ivy-clad courtyard designed by Future Green Studio. This second private terrace spans the full width of the residence's southern exposure, connecting the home to nature. The kitchen is elegantly appointed, centered by a sculptural white oak island topped in midnight black limestone. Surrounded by satin lacquer Italian cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops, and a Calacatta Carrara backsplash, the space is equipped with fully integrated appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch. Blackened metal detailing adds architectural depth and refinement. The primary suite is expansive and tranquil, featuring garden views, a walk-in closet, and a five-fixture en-suite bath wrapped in Calacatta Ice marble. A deep soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, Waterworks chrome fixtures, and radiant-heated herringbone Bianco Dolomiti mosaic floors complete the space. Two additional bedrooms offer generous proportions and adaptability for a variety of living needs. The second bath features Bianco Carrara mosaic, a cerused white oak vanity, Bianco Dolomiti countertop, and a Corbata Nero marble-framed mirror. The powder room is finished in watercolor-glazed penny round tile, custom lighting, and a corner-wrapping mirror. Additional features include seven-inch-wide European white oak flooring, eight-foot solid-core doors with burnished brass hardware, sound-attenuating bronze-framed casement windows and terrace doors, and a side-by-side in-penthouse laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer. All bathrooms include radiant-heated floors for everyday comfort. Steiner East Village is a celebrated example of contextual modernism. Its Danish brick façade, statuary bronze detailing, and U-shaped form surrounding a vibrant central courtyard create a distinctive sense of place that is admired but rarely achieved. The building offers over 16,000 square feet of curated amenities, including a 50-foot indoor teak-ribbed pool, steam room and spa, a landscaped rooftop park with skyline views, herb gardens and an open-air kitchen, a fitness center curated by FitLore, a children's playroom, library with fireplace, 24-hour concierge, and live-in resident manager. Located on a picturesque, tree-lined block near Tompkins Square Park, the Union Square Greenmarket, and some of the city's most celebrated cultural, culinary, and creative destinations, Penthouse B is more than a home—it is a masterfully composed lifestyle. A residence of rare inspiration, designed to elevate every moment.
