Located at 237-243 Furnace St in Akron, OH, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft masterfully blends industrial heritage with contemporary living. The open-concept main area showcases soaring ceilings with exposed black-painted structural rafters, original heavy timber beams, and visible ductwork — all hallmarks of a thoughtfully converted historic building. A striking exposed brick wall runs throughout the space, adding warmth and texture. The kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances — including a refrigerator, electric range, microwave, and dishwasher — paired with white upper cabinetry, warm wood lower cabinets, a tile backsplash, and light quartz countertops. A central island provides additional prep and dining space, while pendant lighting adds a modern industrial touch. Light hardwood flooring grounds the main living and kitchen areas. The bedroom offers a comfortable footprint with plush carpeting, a double-door closet, and the same dramatic exposed brick and original timber beams overhead, with a large arched window allowing natural light to fill the room. The bathroom is clean and modern, featuring a tiled soaking tub and shower combo, wood-toned vanity, quartz countertop, and hardwood flooring — providing a calm, refined retreat within this characterful space.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
