A true townhouse in the sky. Apartment 8A at The Kent, an Extell Development is a testament of luxury living, offering over 5,000 square feet of combined interior and exterior living space in the heart of Carnegie Hill.

Designed by top AD 100 interior designer Celerie Kemble, this one-of-a-kind five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence is infused with lacquered walls, bespoke millwork, rich textures, and a refined palette that balances classic elegance with modern warmth. Floor-to-ceiling windows with south, east, and west exposures bathe the interiors in natural light and frame sweeping city views.

A gracious entry gallery leads to the dramatic great room with soaring ten-foot ceilings, where living and dining merge in sophisticated harmony. This elegant space opens directly onto a spectacular south-facing terrace landscaped by John Mini-the heart of the home and an entertainer's dream. Here, a pergola-shaded dining area, custom storage, and a Bradford twelve-person hot/cold mini-pool create a setting for year-round enjoyment. A built-in gas fire-pit invites cozy evening gatherings, while a wall-mounted outdoor television adds a touch of leisure and entertainment to this remarkable terrace. A second landscaped terrace, accessed from both the dining room and the chef's kitchen, further extends the entertaining space and underscores the seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The open chef's kitchen is appointed with Montclair Danby marble countertops, premium Miele appliances, a wine refrigerator, and generous custom cabinetry. A welcoming eat-in lounge area with built-in TV cabinetry makes this space as comfortable as it is functional, while a beautifully designed powder room completes the main living area.
In the private quarters, a corner primary suite enjoys direct terrace access, two spacious walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath clad in Bianco Dolomiti marble. Three additional bedrooms each feature abundant light and en-suite baths, including one with a Jack-and-Jill configuration. A versatile fifth bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed and full bath offers flexibility for guests or home office use.

Throughout the residence, every detail has been carefully considered, from California Closets and custom woodwork to a JDAV-designed Crestron whole-house AV system that includes motorized shades and lightening. A in-unit washer/dryer and a laundry closet complete this space. A storage unit transfers with the apartment.

Residents of The Kent enjoy an exceptional suite of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, stroller valet, cold storage, the Drawing Room lounge with fireplace and bar, a 55-foot indoor heated pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center with Finnish saunas, the Sound Lounge by Kravitz Design, Camp Kent children's playroom and outdoor play area, the Garden Salon residents' lounge with billiards and catering kitchen, a landscaped courtyard garden, canine spa, and bike room.

Perfectly located in Carnegie Hill, moments from Central Park, world-class museums-and benefiting from a tax abatement through 2039-Residence 8A offers a rare combination of scale, design, and services, representing a true townhouse in the sky on the Upper East Side.
