The converted apartment is spread across two floors and boasts a trove of original industrial details, including exposed brick, filigreed columns, and worn wooden rafters. A wall of nine-foot windows wrap along the perimeter of the loft space, flooding nearly all corners of the interior with sunlight throughout the day.
Contemporary finishes blend together with details from the structure's industrial past. Pale wide-planked hardwoods line the floors, contrasting to the darker brick and original woodwork.
