And the light is growing brighter now.

Nestled on tree lined Humboldt Street in East Williamsburg, a lofted Penthouse beckons. This voluminous residence has triple-height ceilings in the living area and double-height in the primary bedroom, with natural sunlight bathing the interiors through oversized east, west and south-facing windows. A versatile mezzanine level, with a ceiling height just below 7 feet, serves dual purposes: a guest sleeping area and a home office. There are two very usable outdoor spaces to the apartment, one on the main level just off the kitchen and a larger roof deck with panoramic city-views. The primary suite offers an inviting retreat, characterized by its double-height ceiling and sliding doors leading to a quaint balcony. Modern comforts haven't been overlooked, with the inclusion of a washer and dryer, centralized heating and air conditioning, and strategically placed recessed lighting.

199 Humboldt is a luxury condominium comprising eight units, established in 2006. It has strong financials, low common charges, and a 25 year, 421-A tax abatement until 2032. Taxes for this Penthouse are under $3/month. The location makes it easy for commuters, just a stone's throw from the Montrose Avenue L Train and the J/M trains at Lorimer. The area is rich with diverse dining, vibrant bars, and eclectic shops.
