Matterport 3D Tour

This single-floor loft-style unit blends industrial character with practical living comforts. The open-concept layout immediately draws attention to the striking corrugated metal ceiling, which spans the main living and kitchen areas and is complemented by a ceiling fan and stylish pendant lighting throughout. Large picture windows framed by exposed brick allow abundant natural light to flood the living area, offering views of the surrounding neighborhood and creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The living space features a combination of hardwood flooring and plush carpeting, with rich wood baseboards adding a warm contrast to the neutral walls. The kitchen is well-appointed with rich cherry-toned cabinetry extending to the ceiling for ample storage, light-toned countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and range. A peninsula counter provides additional prep space and serves as a natural divider between the kitchen and the living area. Pendant lights hang above, adding both function and style. The bathroom is clean and functional, featuring light ceramic tile flooring, a full tub-shower combination, a toilet, and a vanity with matching cherry-toned cabinetry and a wide countertop. The overall design of this space balances urban industrial aesthetics with warm, welcoming finishes throughout.
