This single-floor loft-style unit showcases a compelling blend of industrial character and contemporary design. Soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams and open rafters lend a raw, architectural warmth throughout the living areas, while large windows flood the space with generous natural light, casting bright patterns across the floors. The kitchen is a standout feature, outfitted with rich, dark-stained shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a classic white subway tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances — including a range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator — complement the space's modern sensibility, while pendant lights hang from the exposed beam ceiling above, adding an industrial-chic touch. Wood-look plank flooring runs throughout the kitchen and main living areas, enhancing the loft aesthetic. The bedrooms offer a quieter atmosphere, carpeted for comfort, with large windows that bring in abundant daylight and ceiling fans overhead. The exposed brick and open rafter details visible in these rooms reinforce the building's industrial heritage. Both bathrooms are cleanly finished with walk-in showers featuring white surrounds, granite-topped vanities with dark wood cabinetry, and wood-look flooring. One bathroom also includes built-in open shelving for added storage. The overall ambiance is modern and refined, with nods to the building's historic industrial roots at every turn.

There's much to love about Downtown Lincoln -- it is considered a biker's paradise, it is walkable, and it is home to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Downtown has it all -- trendy shopping districts, art walks, antique stores, gorgeous architecture, and fantastic restaurants. The Haymarket District, the city's original "square," offers a variety of boutiques, bars, restaurants, and the Pinnacle Bank Arena. The P Street District, located a block south of the university, offers more restaurants, shops, and bars in addition to a theater and two museums. College football fans can cheer on the Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium, located off North 10th Street.
Lincoln is the state capital, and the Capitol Building features a 400-foot observation tower. It is located off Lincoln Mall and 14th Street. Other downtown attractions include the Lincoln Children's Museum, the Sheldon Museum of Art, the Sunken Gardens, and the Lincoln Children's Zoo.

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.
