Before Bushwick's 10 Montieth, Xin Development's the Oosten was the first innovative full-block O-shaped development to hit Brooklyn. Located at 429 Kent Avenue in South Williamsburg, the 7-story, 216-unit development was completed in 2016 and welcomed its first residents the same year. And while it boasts record-breaking sales, a beautiful waterfront location, an unparalleled amount of amenities, and unquestionably modern architecture by Piet Boon, some of the Oosten's listings have been on the market for over a year. Today, we take a look at one such listing, which also doubles as the building's most expensive - Unit #TH8.

The townhouse, a four-bedroom, four-bath home, is currently going for $3.795M. Its design makes it super private with your own entry and garage and its 3,283 square feet fulfills your need for space in this age of micro-units and shared living. The home spans three levels (cellar for the garage) and features a double-height living room, two exposures ensuring great natural light, a custom jacuzzi, and a huge master suite with an en-suite bath and his + her closets.
Other notable features include a 518-square-foot terrace, a pantry, a washer/dryer connection, custom millwork, natural stone details, custom glass and steel doors and a kitchen with Carrara marble countertops and backsplashes, and Smeg and Viking appliances. The home's terrace faces the incredible 13,860-square-foot interior courtyard, which is just one of the many amenities the Oosten has.
Residents will also enjoy the building's two lobbies, a library, a 24-hour concierge, a lap pool, a lounge, a children's playroom, and a fitness center/yoga room with a spa and juice bar. Last but not least, the Oosten is complete with a landscaped rooftop featuring city, river, and bridge views, a reflection pool, lounge seating, and a professional chef's grill.
The Oosten has a total of 12 available units right now, with prices starting at a more modest $1.06M for a one-bedroom condo and $1.825M for a two-bedroom. For kicks, you can also check out this 15,000/month rental that hit the market in May.
