This 1-bedroom loft has the features loft lovers look for including exposed brick walls, large industrial windows, exposed ductwork and 12-foot timber ceilings.
The listing says it has custom window treatments with southern and western exposures.
There are diagonal hardwood floors in the main living areas and “fresh carpeting” in the bedroom.
The loft has a bonus den/office off the kitchen (no door) with a window.
The kitchen, updated in 2018, is a “chef’s dream” with new white cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula which appears to support chairs around it.
There’s no dining room.
The loft also has a “rare oasis” with a private 16×14 foot terrace. It is the only terrace on the floor.
The loft comes with the features that buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and garage parking is available for $25,000.
This building is near Mary Bartelme Park, Mariano’s and Whole Foods, the McDonald’s HQ and the shops and restaurants on Randolph Street and Greek Town.
Listed at $400,000 plus $25,000 for parking, or $425,000, that would be a new high price point for this loft since the 2006 conversion.
