Here’s a swank rental for you: a Williamsburg penthouse with staggering views, a large private roof deck and a private heated swimming pool. It sits atop Shaefer Landing, the modern hi-rise at 440 Kent Avenue, by the East River waterfront.

There’s a giant living room with an open plan kitchen that’s walled with floor-to-ceiling windows along two sides, offering sweeping views of Manhattan and the river. It’s got a small balcony in the corner.

There’s a large master bedroom with a walk-in closet, more floor-to-ceilign windows, and an en-suite marble bath with a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi tub.

Then there’s a second bedroom, a laundry room, and a second full bath. Up the “bespoke” staircase is a birdhouse-like office space with more stunning views, that would make for an above-average place to sit with a laptop. Surrounding that is the roof deck, which is landscaped with irrigated planters, and the aforementioned pool.

There are electric blinds on the windows, zoned A/C and heat and built-in speaker systems indoors and out. The building has a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a full gym, a kids’ playroom, a parking garage where spaces can be rented for a fee, and shuttle service to the L and J/M/Z trains.

Listed by Brown Harris Stevens brokers Nadine Adamson and Kelsey Hall, the place will run you $12,500 a month. If you had that kind of money, would you spend it on this one?
