Property Description for 655 Humboldt Street
655 Humboldt Street sits in the middle of a tranquil tree-lined block at the edge of McGolrick Park, and is just a short walk to McCarren Park. The best of Greenpoint and Williamsburgs restaurants, shops, and other amenities are also close by, as are the G train and NYC buses at the end of the block. This warm and inviting two-family home retains its original stained glass vestibule door, staircase, and other details. The parlor floor ceilings, which have been dropped, could be easily restored back to their original span of over ten feet high. Currently configured with a top floor apartment and a lower duplex, 655 Humboldt Street could be converted for use as a sprawling single-family townhouse, or a duplex over a garden apartment. The building measures 2,700 square feet on three floors and comes with air rights for an additional 1,866 square feet. With a lot depth of over 126 feet, the backyard is sunny, expansive, and peaceful. Bring your architect and contractor and make this classic Greenpoint townhouse your own.

Greenpoint | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Go north, not west. Greenpoint’s placement at the furthermost tip of Brooklyn makes it peak “North Brooklyn” territory. Bordered by the East River, its geographical location has long made Greenpoint integral to maritime activity, present day ferry service to Manhattan included. With Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City to the north, Greenpoint’s “hip factor” often experiences crossover traffic from these areas.
Particularly bustling on the weekend, the edge of McCarren Park at Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street filters out into prime Greenpoint, where brunch has become a hallowed tradition for newer and longtime residents alike. Bars and restaurants such as Spritzenhaus and Five Leaves also provide close proximity to a post-dining jaunt in the park.
As the neighborhood continues to grow and develop, the old world feel of a tradition of Polish immigrants has commingled with the arrival of enterprising millennials that have become a part of the go-getting spirit of the neighborhood. Filled with small coffee shops, vintage boutiques and award-winning restaurants (as well as tailored bars like TØRST offering up specialty beers on tap), Greenpoint truly is the jewel of North Brooklyn.
