This two-story industrial loft masterfully combines historic architectural elements with modern design sensibilities. The main living area commands immediate attention with its soaring ceilings, original heavy timber trusses, and exposed metal ductwork — all hallmarks of a thoughtfully converted historic building. Large industrial-style windows flood the space with abundant natural light while offering sweeping urban views, further enhancing the open, airy atmosphere. The living area is anchored by a warm leather sofa and vibrant teal accent chairs set atop a richly patterned area rug, creating an inviting and stylish gathering space. Exposed brick walls add raw texture and depth throughout, contrasting beautifully with the clean white walls and polished concrete floors. The kitchen is efficiently designed with sleek dark cabinetry, black granite countertops, a stainless steel sink, and recessed lighting — offering a refined, functional workspace. A distinctive wood-paneled entry door adds a warm, contemporary touch. A steel-railed staircase leads to the upper mezzanine level, where the sleeping area tucks beneath a reclaimed wood ceiling supported by original timber beams, creating an intimate and cozy retreat. A full bathroom with a tub-shower combination and clean, neutral finishes completes the upper floor. This loft offers a compelling blend of industrial heritage and modern comfort.

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.
