Property Description
Step into this professionally architect-renovated, bright, spacious, top-floor loft at the premier PENCIL FACTORY LOFTS. Featuring BOTH soaring 12-foot ceilings and dramatically skylighted 20-foot ceilings, this home has an open, airy vibe, bathed with light from the skylights and from the 9-foot tall windows. Of note, there are only a few of these skylighted-designed units in this building, and overall, available units have become scarce. ... The kitchen boasts (Hey, the kitchen is proud of itself.) sleek stainless and interior-lit frosted-glass cabinetry with stainless KitchenAid appliances, and stunning brushed concrete countertops with breakfast island accomodating a 5-BURNER FISHER & PAYKEL GAS STOVE. The extra-large primary bathroom features plenty of counter space and a spa-like walk-in shower with rain head. (For showers, rain is a good thing.) And, this loft contains a new LENNOX SINGLE STAGE 80% EFFICIENCY FURNACE, installed in 2023. ... Perhaps the grandest feature of this particular loft is the storage with extensive sliding glass-paneled closets in the primary bedroom, plus a walk-in closet and a sliding-glass paneled closet in the 2nd bedroom. Additionally, there is a large lofted storage area and more storage in the in-unit laundry room which has a stackable washer-dryer. ... The flooring throughout is oak, and yes, it's REAL OAK. Along with exposed brick, a custom 30-foot wood wall is the feature of the living room which hides an entertainment center and a "secret door" to the primary bedroom. (Very James Bond!) Several modern ceiling fans help to enhance energy efficiency and also give the loft an extra touch of industrial flair. Relatively low energy bills complete the package. ... Btw, the portion of this loft with 20-foot ceilings is perfect for you to build a lofted extra room, giving you even more functional space, which has already been done in several other units by owners in this building. ... And speaking of the building, the PENCIL FACTORY LOFTS is a rare loft building located on a tree-lined street. It offers impressively useful AMENITIES, including a renovated full gym, recently renovated relaxing courtyard with grills, new business center, package receiving room with lockers, a car wash bay with hose, vacuum and supplies, a dog wash (YES, a dog wash for Fido), and a roof deck with panoramic city skyline views. Common areas feature Wi-Fi, and there's an on-site engineer, a freight elevator, and a loading dock for easy move-ins. All of this is just one block from the Paulina Brown Line EL station and within close proximity to splendid restaurants, shopping, and 4 major grocery stores. ... NOTE: An indoor deeded PARKING SPACE in the first-floor heated garage is part of the asking price, and is conveniently located near the lobby entrance. (SOME PHOTOS ARE VIRTUALLY STAGED. Living room photos have altered paint color.)
