Property Description for 656 Humboldt Street

Welcome to 656 Humboldt Street, a charmingly reimagined multifamily residence resting quietly on one of the most beautiful streets in Greenpoint just a short block away from Monsignor McGolrick Park.

Zoned as a three (3) family but utilized as a two (2) family, this well-appointed six-bedroom (6BR) three and a half bathroom (3.5BA) home exhibits the quintessential essence of modern-day Brooklyn living.

As you enter the owner's duplex on the parlor floor, you are greeted by a proper mudroom outfitted with a closet for coats, shoes, and other belongings. Tasteful black and white tile lays beautifully and is accented by black wainscoting, providing a chic and welcoming feel. Upon entering the home, the distinct black wooden floors create alluring and intentional contrast.

Adjacent to the main stairwell the guest bedroom can be found boasting two large windows and a decorative, white-painted brick fireplace.

As you progress toward the back of the house passed the stairwell, you will find the powder room outfitted with teal-blue wainscoting and a rustic console vanity.

After making a right passed the powder room, one of the home's many glories can be found: the kitchen. This true chef's kitchen is equipped to handle even the most complex cooking endeavors. The enormous and thoughtful layout provides a fundamental separation of practical use and enjoyment derived from the well-thought-out concept of having both a kitchen and designated dining space. With state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances and a rare abundance of cabinetry this kitchen checks every box. The living room can be found just off the dining space.

The second floor of this magnificent home is drenched in natural light and is where four other bedrooms as well as the laundry room can be found. The master bedroom toward the back of the house is comprised of generous proportion and comes equipped with a huge walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. At the other end of the home, three other bedrooms flooded with light reside as well as a second full bathroom.

The ground floor of the home consists of a large updated one-bedroom (1BR), one-bathroom (1BA) garden rental with access to the backyard.

656 Humboldt Street not only resides right next to Monsignor McGolrick Park, but is also encompassed by an array of neighborhood favorites, including but not limited to McCarren Park, Amber Steakhouse, Greenpoint Fish & Lobster, Happy Zoe Bakery, Brooklyn Standard, Little Dokebi, Calexico, El Born, Crema BK, Dar 525, The Screen Door, Two Worlds Arts, Five Leaves, The Brooklyn Barge, New York Sports Club, Crunch, YMCA, Bernie's, Sauvage, YO BK, Charlotte Patisserie, High Valley Books, Jimbo Slims, as well as a variety of grocery stores, gyms, and much more.Subway lines include access to the G train on Nassau Avenue, and the L train on Bedford Avenue.

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.
