Property Details

Southeast corner 2-bedroom, 2-bath on the 22nd floor of 420 Kent, approx. 950 sq ft. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap two sides of the living room with open, unobstructed views across Williamsburg and Brooklyn, plus a slice of the East River and the Manhattan skyline from the south-facing sill. The light is the apartment’s defining feature: sunrise pours in through the east windows and the south exposure keeps it bright all day. It’s a paradise for plants. Ours have thrived here, from a six-foot bird of paradise and a pair of rubber trees to begonias, calatheas, a Chinese money plant, a Chinese elm bonsai, jades and a small cactus collection, all without a single grow light. If you have plants, or want them, this is the place.

The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with a double vanity and walk-in glass shower. The second full bath, with a soaking tub, is off the hall. Open kitchen with island, dishwasher, gas range and full-size fridge. In-unit washer/dryer. Central heat and air.

Rent-stabilized at $6,955/month, so renewal increases are capped by the Rent Guidelines Board.

This is not a sublet or an assignment. We’re relocating, and the building has agreed to place a qualified replacement on a new 12-month lease directly with 420 Kent Avenue LLC / FirstService Residential. You apply to the building, sign your own lease, and we’re released. No broker, no fee.

Building: 24-hour doorman and concierge, indoor pool, gym, roof deck, bike room, parking available, package room, waterfront esplanade. Pet-friendly, cats and dogs welcome. The NYC Ferry South 8th Street landing is at the front door (about 15 minutes to Wall Street or Midtown), and the building runs a free shuttle to both the J/M/Z at Marcy Ave and the L at Bedford Ave. On foot, Marcy is about 10 minutes and Bedford about 15.

Incentives

No fee, and rent-stabilized at $6,955. Flexible on the December 1 start date.

Additional fees

Standard 420 Kent application through the leasing office: income of roughly 40x monthly rent or a qualifying guarantor, credit and background check, photo ID, two recent pay stubs or an offer letter, and most recent tax return or bank statements.

Other info
