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. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 3 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Sqft**: 1,744 sqft - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 2017 - **Price per Sqft**: $3,383 - **Common Charges**: $3,217 / Monthly - **Monthly Taxes**: $3,893 / mo - **Listed On**: Mar 24, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 178 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Common On Floor - In Unit - Garage - Building Barbecue - Building Garden - Building Roof Deck - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Dryer - Dishwasher - Washer - Hardwood - City ### Building Amenities - Sauna - Garage ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$36,944 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($1,180,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $5,900,000 - **Median sold price**: $3,475,000 - **Difference**: +$2,425,000 (+69.8%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $3,383 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,962 - **Comparable sales**: 4 - **Sales from**: December 2021 – June 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $3,180,290 – $3,712,500 Based on three-bedroom sales at Steiner East Villag. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 180 days (3 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 62 days (3 sales) Based on three-bedroom sales at Steiner East Villag with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median price per square foot, sales at Steiner East Villag | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2018 | $2,047/ft² | 69 | | 2019 | $1,861/ft² | 6 | | 2021 | $2,099/ft² | 5 | | 2022 | $1,969/ft² | 7 | | 2024 | $2,266/ft² | 5 | | 2026 YTD | $1,898/ft² | 3 (thin) | Based on recorded sales at Steiner East Villag. 2026 is year-to-date. Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. Sales data through June 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
