A one-of-one Garden level duplex in The Steiner, featured in Architectural Digest.

Spanning 1,976 sq ft, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home features a generous 355 sq ft private terrace and a layout unlike any other in the building. The masterfully-crafted residence conceived by Paris Forino boasts high style and design, and is filled with sunlight pouring in from generous windows and glass doors facing south to the lush garden. Among the distinctive details of this showplace home are oversized casement windows framed in statuary bronze, airy ceilings, 7" wide-plank European white oak flooring, custom architectural millwork, and high interior doors adorned with burnished brass hardware.

Entertain in style on the expansive open-plan main level complete with an elegant living and dining room, and top-of-the-line chef's kitchen appointed with custom satin lacquer Italian cabinetry to sleek limestone and Calacatta marble counters, to premium appliances by Wolf, Bosch and Sub-Zero. Spill out to the wonderful landscaped terrace through a wall of glass that brings the outside in and allows a seamless flow for hosting outdoors with plenty of space for seating and dining.

Also accessing the terrace is the divine primary bedroom retreat conveniently located on the main level featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, a large walk-in closet, and sophisticated spa bath with Waterworks fixtures. Bianco Dolomito walls, herringbone Bianco Dolomiti mosaic flooring with radiant heat, a custom white lacquer Italian vanity with Calacatta Ice marble top, soothing soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower afford the ultimate pampering. Past the gallery hall sits a striking powder room graced by watercolor glazed penny-round mosaic walls, a corner-wrapping vanity mirror, and custom lighting.

Two spacious, sunny secondary bedrooms with abundant closets occupy their own level, sharing a Bianco Carrara honed marble mosaic-clad full bath with a cerused white oak Italian vanity topped by Bianco Dolomiti, Corbata Nero marble framed vanity mirror, relaxing soaking tub and glass-encased spa shower. A utility closet with a washer/dryer enhances the comfort.
