Truly Spectacular?...Introducing 411 Kent Avenue one of the last remaining Gems located on The Williamsburg Waterfront. Built Circa 1920 this property shares the architectural characteristics of a Former Firehouse. It is the very definition of a creative Williamsburg Loft, much sought after, but rarely found.
The existing two-story home features massive open spaces, high ceilings, huge windows, multiple skylights, original paneled woodwork, exposed brick, original floors, and completely exposed wood ceiling joists. Additional features include a curb cut, open garage entrance, roof terrace, skyline & bridge/river views. Coupled with the rare bonus of a full-height polished basement and a picturesque Bamboo backyard garden, reached through a Donald Judd-inspired pivoting door. The Bamboo reaches skyward from the ground floor to provide a refreshing splash of green and privacy to the second-floor back roof terrace. The facade is completely restored, enhancing the building?s historical significance?with original terra-cotta panels and a refurbished classic cornice.

The building is currently 3,322 SF above grade and an additional 1350 SF full height basement. The lot is 2,379 SF measuring 23.25? and 102.33? and tagged with Max FAR of 3.4 FAR there is potential to add approximately 4,766 SF to this property to build your dream home in one of the hottest locations in Williamsburg.
