Stunning Live/Work Loft! This one-of-a-kind industrial-chic loft offers a rare blend of architectural drama, thoughtful design, & functionality. Soaring 12 to 13.4-foot ceilings, exposed mechanicals, & striking walls of French doors create a bright & open atmosphere filled with character & light. A dramatic staircase enhances the loft's unique style. The operable sawtooth skylights are cleverly designed to optimize natural airflow & flood the space with daylight - making artificial lighting nearly unnecessary. A central thermal massing wall helps to moderate temp swings within the structure. A 'cool roof' combination of white roofing & extensive insulation maximizes energy efficiency. On the lower level, trendy polished concrete floors complement the loft's modern vibe, while rich wood flooring adds warmth upstairs. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a gas stove, stone countertops, center island, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, farm sink & ample cabinetry. The loft includes a bathroom on the main floor & a full bath upstairs. There is a wonderful roof-top viewing deck perfect for lounging, grilling, watching TV, etc. Laundry areas are located both in the garage & the 2nd floor. Features include an elevator, EV in the garage, ample solar panels to feed the entire home, new dual zone HVAC & fire sprinklers. It is ideally located just steps from the quaint downtown village of Sierra Madre, hiking trails, parks & freeway access. You'll love this impressive loft! MLS# P1-22879
