About This Home
Welcome to The Kent, a premier full-service condominium where historic loft character meets modern luxury. This rarely available home is a sanctuary of light, featuring expansive views from eight oversized windows and rich hardwood floors that bathe the interior in natural light throughout the day. The residence boasts impressive volume, with ceiling heights reaching 12 feet near the windows and averaging a soaring 10.5 feet throughout the rest of the home.
Spanning 1,034 square feet, the current open-concept layout serves as a grand canvas for your vision. Whether you prefer a sprawling minimalist gallery or a partitioned multi-room home, the versatile floor plan adapts to your needs. The space is anchored by an open kitchen featuring black granite countertops and a social island, complemented by two full bathrooms, a massive walk-in closet, and the convenience of an in-unit stackable washer/dryer.
A Flexible & Welcoming Investment
The Kent stands out not only for its architecture but for its exceptionally flexible ownership policies. This is a true investor-friendly opportunity, as owners are permitted to lease their units immediately. The building warmly welcomes a variety of purchasing structures, including guarantors, gifting of funds, and parents purchasing for children (whether students or employed).
For those looking to maximize their leverage, the building allows for competitive financing up to 90%. Life here is designed for convenience: the building is pet-friendly, offers storage for rent, and allows for the continued use of in-unit washers and dryers.
At the Heart of Brooklyn Culture
Located at the intersection of Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the borough.
Green Space: Enjoy a morning stroll at Fort Greene Park, home to a celebrated year-round farmers market and tennis courts., or explore the quiet beauty of the Pratt Institute Sculpture Garden just blocks away.
Dining & Arts: You are minutes from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and a world-class culinary scene, including local favorites along DeKalb and Myrtle Avenues.
