    Your search for the perfect Greenpoint home is over! Welcome to 686 Humboldt, a two family town home situated on one of the best residential blocks in the neighborhood. The wide street and low neighboring homes allow for an unbelievable amount of sunlight with the optimal east / west exposure that you won't want to pass up. The ground and second floors are currently set up as an owner's duplex with a private entrance from the ground floor. Entering through the duplex opens up onto a vast 500 square foot living room / great room with a brand new installed floor that leads directly to the sunny backyard. The second floor currently features an eat-in kitchen with a half wall that opens up to a large dining room. The adjoining main bedroom has a huge window for tons of direct west facing sunlight and easily fits a king sized bed. Create the perfect three story home or utilize the third floor 857 square foot unit as a rental for additional income. Plenty of room to stretch out in the spacious rooms that also feature a middle office area and a side room that can flex as an additional bedroom. The third floor also boasts towering 9 foot 3 inch height ceilings. Each floor is filled with original details and accents including original staircase and banister, hardwood floors on the second and third floors, hallway skylight and subway tile and cast iron bathtubs on the second and third floors. The expansive east facing yard is well maintained with decking and stone covering with a separate planter area. A small shed sits on the back lot line to keep your gardening equipment and tools out of the house and out of sight year round. Situated in the heart of Greenpoint just steps around the corner from beautiful Mcgolrick Park which hosts a farmer's market that will return March 6th and a short walk to shops and dining in Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
