Matterport 3D Tours

This distinctive loft-style space showcases a compelling blend of industrial heritage and contemporary design across a single floor. The open-concept living and kitchen area commands attention with soaring ceilings supported by exposed wooden beams and visible structural elements, lending the space an authentic industrial character. Light wood-look vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main living areas, complementing the warm tones of the exposed brick accent wall, which features a window that allows natural light to filter in. The kitchen is well-appointed with rich dark espresso cabinetry offering ample storage, light countertops, and a full suite of black appliances including a refrigerator with ice maker, range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. Industrial-style pendant lighting illuminates the kitchen and living areas, reinforcing the loft aesthetic. A carpeted room provides a quieter, softer-underfoot space suitable for a bedroom or private retreat, with exposed ductwork along the ceiling maintaining the industrial theme. The bathroom is clean and functional, featuring a dark vanity with a striped stone-look countertop, a white under-mount sink, recessed lighting, and a full bathtub and shower combination with tile flooring. Together, these elements create a cohesive, urban loft atmosphere that is both stylish and practical.

A carpeted room provides a quieter, softer-underfoot space suitable for a bedroom or private retreat, with exposed ductwork along the ceiling maintaining the industrial theme. The bathroom is clean and functional, featuring a dark vanity with a striped stone-look countertop, a white under-mount sink, recessed lighting, and a full bathtub and shower combination with tile flooring. Together, these elements create a cohesive, urban loft atmosphere that is both stylish and practical. This single-floor urban loft showcases a compelling blend of industrial character and modern comfort. The defining architectural feature is the dramatic exposed wood beam ceiling, which spans the open-concept living and kitchen area, complemented by visible metal ductwork and pendant lighting that reinforce the industrial aesthetic. Light wood-tone luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout the main living space, reflecting natural light that pours in through a set of large windows along one wall.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with rich, dark-stained wood cabinetry extending from floor to ceiling, light countertops, a stainless steel sink, and a full suite of black appliances including a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. The open layout of the main area provides generous, flexible living space.

The bedrooms offer a quieter, more intimate atmosphere, transitioning to plush carpeted flooring and neutral gray walls. Exposed structural steel columns and ductwork carry the industrial theme into these rooms as well. The bathroom is clean and well-appointed, featuring large-format tile flooring, a full bathtub with shower, a dark wood vanity with white countertop, and recessed lighting for a polished finish. This loft-style unit masterfully combines industrial heritage with contemporary living. The open-plan living and kitchen area is defined by dramatic soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams and ductwork overhead, creating a striking visual depth. Rich, dark hardwood-style plank flooring runs throughout the main living space, complemented by original exposed brick walls that lend warmth and historic character. Arched windows along the brick walls flood the space with natural light and offer views of the surrounding urban landscape.

The kitchen is outfitted with rich espresso-toned cabinetry, light countertops, black appliances including a refrigerator, range, and dishwasher, and is accented by the same exposed brick wall alongside a window. Pendant lighting adds an industrial-modern touch above the workspace.

The bedroom continues the loft aesthetic with soaring ceilings, exposed brick, arched windows, plush carpeting, and a ceiling fan. A closet provides convenient storage, and the room connects directly to the bathroom.

The bathrooms feature tile flooring, a combination tub and shower with chrome fixtures and a curtain rod, a dark vanity with a light countertop, and clean, neutral wall tones. The overall ambiance throughout is urban, open, and full of character.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
