The Loft

Old-world character, modern comfort

Morning coffee at the kitchen island. An easy walk to shops, museums, and dinner. A quiet, dark bedroom when the day is done. This newly renovated two-bedroom loft pairs modern comfort with the character of a building that has stood downtown since 1914: exposed brick, 11-foot ceilings, and big windows full of natural light.
