Upon entry, you are met with an open living/dining space with 10-ft ceilings, modern finishes, and 6-in white oak flooring throughout. The kitchen features custom reclaimed wood cabinet uppers with lights; gray lacquer lower cabinets; a concrete Caesarstone countertop; and a gray porcelain tile backsplash. This is complemented by stainless steel dishwasher, convection oven, and Fisher & Paykel fridge. The custom-made, functional island designed by the sellers can comfortably seat 6 guests and be brought up to the roof deck to continue entertaining and dining.
The living room offers plenty of space for everyday use, including room for a desk for those WFH days. An oversized industrial warehouse-style window provides natural light and additional character.
Flanking the living/dining space on one end is the bathroom with Kohler soaking tub and fluted wood cabinetry and wood ceiling detail adding a truly spa-like atmosphere. This and the large porcelain tiles expand on the cool grey palette of the home and natural textures throughout. At the other end of the apartment is the well-appointed bedroom featuring ample room for your bed and furniture.
The building features a gym as well as a roof deck with city views. Located a few blocks from the waterfront, 186 Huron Street is conveniently accessible to the neighborhood's dining hotspots and notable shopping. Transportation to Long Island City and Manhattan includes the G train, bus, and ferry.
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.
