 |
Enjoy contemporary urban living, minutes from downtown, in this spacious South Boston loft.
Please Note:
The loft has recently undergone a renovation to upgrade the space to a true 2 bedroom unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Converted 12 years ago and subsequently renovated, this loft is an ideal canvas for open plan living. |
|
|
|
 |
Located on the 3rd floor, this unit is one of 32 in a modest-sized, elevator building with high owner-occupancy.
Please Note:
The main bedroom has been built in the top left-hand corner of the space, between the last 2 posts, and features double glass French doors, a walk-in closet and a ceiling fan. |
|
|
|
 |
| 9 large, high-efficiency, double hung, industrial-style windows give the loft a super-bright exposure with northern and western views. |
|
|
|
 |
| The north-western exposure offers an unparalleled view of Boston's city skyline. |
|
|
|
 |
| Across the Reserved Channel is the Black Falcon Terminal wharf, where watching passenger cruise ships dock is always a conversation stopper. |
|
|
|
 |
The loft easily accommodates multiple living areas for dining, reading, listening to music, watching TV or simply relaxing.
Please Note:
Since the renovation was completed the loft now features 2 private bedrooms or 1 bedroom plus a home office/study. |
|
|
|
 |
A unique addition to the loft is a 35,000 btu gas fireplace, operable via remote.
Built-in maple cabinets, a 9 foot-long granite mantel and sconce lighting complete the fireplace design. |
|
|
|
 |
9½ foot-high ceilings and the open floor plan add to this loft's sense of space + light.
The heavy timber columns with their original cast iron lintels have been restored, recalling this loft's industrial past. |
|
|
|
 |
A private alcove adjoins the main living space, adjacent to the kitchen.
Please Note:
As part of the renovation, this private alcove has now been enclosed with a door, creating a real 2nd bedroom and/or home office/study. |
|
|
|
 |
As a 2nd bedroom, the space can readily accommodate a queen-size bed with side tables.
|
|
|
|
 |
The 2nd bedroom and/or home office/study also features a large double door storage closet.
Please Note:
The open passage way has since been enclosed with a door to create a real 2nd bedroom with privacy. |
|
|
|
 |
Original rock maple + oak flooring has been polished and preserved throughout the loft.
Gas forced hot air heating and central air conditioning are ducted throughout the loft. |
|
|
|
