Property Description for 440 Kent Ave, PH-1A

Perched high above the edge of the East River, this custom built penthouse offers sweeping water and Manhattan views that perfectly complement its exquisite interiors. After a complete renovation orchestrated by acclaimed interior designer Nathan Andrew, this sumptuous yet minimalist home welcomes you with thoughtful details around every corner. Each beautiful surface beckons your touch; exquisite marble slabs, custom-cut, ceiling-height black lacquered oak doors, chromium finished Fantini bath and kitchen fixtures, and grey oak LV wide plank floors.

As you step into the foyer, subdued tones and glittering light envelop you with a sense of calm. There is a luxuriously appointed powder room off the foyer as well as generous closet space. To the right leads into the great room with a graciously sized living area complete with custom elegant built-ins which conceal a home entertainment center, storage and a dry bar. A terrace graces the corner of the great room, with enough room for a comfortable loveseat and coffee table to relax and enjoy the 180 degree vista.

The spacious dining area can comfortably accommodate dinner parties for 12 or more intimate gatherings. Every detail of the layout and design has been thoughtfully crafted for comfort and entertaining.

The sleek, bespoke kitchen has fully concealed appliances, and is punctuated by a massive, book-matched black Nero Marquina island, which gives the impression of being carved from a single block of marble.

Views abound everywhere you look. There is no window in this home that doesn't offer a gorgeous tableau of twinkling skyline, magical nightly sunsets, as well as water and light through its floor to ceiling windows featuring automatic blinds throughout.

The modernist hallway (an artwork in of itself) leads to the private quarters, where you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms as well as a sizable laundry and linen storage room. The master suite is comfortable and elegant, featuring 2 two closets and a sizable walk-in closet with custom-shelving. Accessed by a sleek pocket-door, the tranquil en suite master bath is ensconced with floor-to-ceiling Woodgrain marble slabs, a custom double vanity and a luxurious open shower seamlessly integrated into the spa-like environment

The superior attention to detail employed, and the craftsmanship and quality of material used, creates a custom home that is truly second to none.

440 Kent Avenue just completed a full lobby renovation and the building is in excellent financial standing. Services include a 24-hour doorman, gym, roof deck, and garaged parking with direct access from the elevators. Nearby services and restaurants (just to name a few) are City Acres Market, Barano Restaurant, Misi, Meckleburg's, Diner, Marlow and Son's, Domino Park, Danny Meyer's Tacocina, and the East River Ferry (dock directly outside 440 Kent).

The Williamsburg Montessori School is also located next door.

With a quality above all else in Williamsburg- this penthouse is a home that truly must be seen to be appreciated.

421-Tax Abatement in place until 2032.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
