“1550 square feet”
Not even if you include the parking space. More like *maybe* 1250.
Would be much better more open like a “traditional” loft space, but tough bc of the different floor levels.
Anyone know what business was here before conversion? Long time ago now.
Sweet pad until you have to take a dump when guests are visiting.
“Sweet pad until you have to take a dump when guests are visiting.”
What does that mean Nyet? You wish there were two bathrooms?
I was going to do a post for today but everything is so lackluster, and it’s late, that I’m going to pass. Sorry.
We’ll be back at it next week. It won’t be as hot this weekend. Maybe I’ll get some new photos.
I cannot get over the ask for a 1-bath ground floor…either facing an alley or Diversey (both = NOISE!!) level unit with no private outdoor space….and google drive around the block leaves me very curious where in the heck this parking is? Whomever would buy this at this price needs their head examined.
“where in the heck this parking is?”
Across the alley to the north. The white garage and outdoor parking inside the fence.
