Step into a quiet corner-unit loft on the east facing side of the building, the where chic industrial character and expansive outdoor space rarely coexist. Exposed beams, polished concrete floors and a wood-burning fireplace anchor an open floor plan bathed in light from oversized windows and skylights overhead. Slide open the door to your private deck - built for long evenings outside - with ample room to dine and entertain. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper: a custom center island with additional sink and built-in bookshelf at the end, pretty blue glass tile backsplash, a gas range and black granite counters. Cherry cabinetry and preserved architectural details add warmth, while the Fisher & Paykel fridge, wine fridge and Bosch dishwasher bring it fully current. One bedroom now, with architectural plans in hand for a second-floor expansion - plus a built-in office and generous closet space. The oversized bathroom offers a skylight and a stone tiled walk-in shower.Additional highlights include central AC, in-unit laundry, one deeded parking space and a private basement storage room. Set in a professionally managed building with elevator and intercom - just minutes to shopping, dining, the Red Line at JFK/UMass, Route 93 and downtown Boston.
