Matterport 3D Tours

This single-floor unit delivers a compelling industrial-modern aesthetic, where raw architectural elements meet contemporary finishes. The open living area is defined by striking exposed brick walls that add warmth and texture, while bold orange overhead piping runs across the white ceiling, reinforcing the loft-inspired character. Multi-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring in varying shades of grey flows throughout the space, creating a dynamic visual contrast underfoot. Natural light filters in through white-framed windows, brightening the interior and highlighting a rustic barn-style sliding door that connects living spaces with a charming, functional touch. The kitchen is well-appointed with two-toned cabinetry — dark navy lower cabinets paired with light grey uppers — complemented by stainless steel appliances including a range, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A matte black faucet over a single-basin sink adds a refined modern detail. A mini-split HVAC unit provides individual climate control. The bathroom features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with large-format tile, a white vanity, and a dark-framed mirror, completing the space with a clean, polished finish.

The bathroom features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with large-format tile, a white vanity, and a dark-framed mirror, completing the space with a clean, polished finish. This single-floor urban unit masterfully combines industrial character with modern design. The open living and kitchen area is a standout, showcasing exposed red brick walls on multiple sides and a generous bank of white-framed windows that frame panoramic rooftop views of the surrounding cityscape. Sunlight pours in throughout the day, highlighting the light-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring and the bold orange conduit that traces the ceiling — a deliberate industrial design element. A wall-mounted mini-split HVAC unit ensures efficient climate control.

The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with two-toned cabinetry — dark navy lower cabinets paired with light grey uppers — complemented by crisp white quartz countertops, a matte black faucet, stainless steel appliances including a range, microwave, and refrigerator, and a single-basin undermount sink.

The bedroom offers a quieter retreat, featuring soft carpeting underfoot, an exposed brick accent wall, and a bright double-pane window with a lush tree-lined view. The bathroom is clean and functional, finished with large-format tile, a natural light window with frosted glass, and matte black hardware accents throughout. The overall ambiance is a refined balance of raw, urban texture and polished contemporary living.
