Description

A rare offering at The Kent: one of only two three-bedroom residences in the entire building with soaring 14-foot ceilings — perched on the 27th floor, the highest non-penthouse tier, with open views and brilliant light from every single room.

High above Third Avenue, Residence 27C occupies one of The Kent’s premium floors, where the ceilings rise to a dramatic 14 feet — a scale found almost nowhere else in the building. With northern, southern, and eastern exposures and nothing but open sky in every direction — no brick-wall views here — the home is flooded with light from sunrise to sunset, framed by massive floor-to-ceiling windows that make every room feel like a gallery.

A 421-a tax abatement runs through 2039, with current real estate taxes of just $254 per month. On a home of this caliber, you are effectively paying no property taxes — a savings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the abatement, and increasingly rare as abated buildings vanish from the market.

Enter through a private foyer into an impressive corner Living and Dining Room, where the 14-foot ceilings and walls of glass create a sense of volume and drama no photograph captures. Finishes are exactly what you’d expect from Extell’s collaboration with Beyer Blinder Belle and Alexandra Champalimaud: custom millwork, brushed oak flooring, an ivory high-gloss kitchen with metal-mesh accented glass cabinetry, integrated Miele appliances, Sub-Zero wine storage, and Dornbracht fittings. All three bedrooms share the same soaring ceiling height, each with its own ensuite bath. The oversized Primary Suite offers a large walk-in closet and a marble bath with Bianco Dolomiti accents, Axor fittings, and accessories by Patricia Urquiola. A full-size vented washer/dryer completes the home.
