 |
| Style, form and function come into their own in this classic brick + beam Leather District loft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| As one of the 1st buildings in the Leather District to undergo a residential conversion back in 1981, this unit has been subsequently renovated using custom built-ins + casework, sleek modern fixtures + lighting. |
|
|
|
 |
| Located on the 3rd floor with a northern exposure, this unit is one of 8 residential units in a small-sized building. |
|
|
|
 |
| At 1900 SF± of usable space, the space allows for flexible room layout to accommodate multiple living areas for dining, reading, working, watching TV or simply relaxing. |
|
|
|
 |
| 11½ foot-high ceilings and the open floor plan lend this loft an exaggerated sense of space + light. |
|
|
|
 |
| Concrete wrapped columns, massive cross-beams and painted brick walls lend industrial charm to the unique design of the loft. |
|
|
|
 |
| 4 over-sized windows flood the main living space with day-long natural light. |
|
|
|
 |
| All windows are double-hung, insulated, fully operable and offer a north-eastern exposure. |
|
|
|
 |
| Looking left past the new 2 Financial Center building up East Street towards South Station on Atlantic Avenue. |
|
|
|
 |
| Looking right through the fire escape over South Street towards the State Street building beyond. |
|
|
|
 |
| Central heating and air conditioning are ducted throughout the loft with additional ventilation provided by two ceiling fans. |
|
|
|
 |
| A recent renovation to the loft is the addition of a 2nd/guest bedroom adjoining the main living space. |
|
|
|
 |
| The 2nd/guest bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king-size bed with side tables and features a flexible storage system. |
|
|
|
 |
| Alternatively, the 2nd/guest bedroom can serve as an ideal home office and/or private study. |
|
|
|
 |
| The original hardwood floors have been covered with a floating floor laminate for a clean polished look. |
|
|
|
 |
| Custom track and suspended feature lighting illuminate the kitchen/dining area within the loft. |
|
|
|
 |
| The kitchen has been completely upgraded with an integrated design, featuring a full complement of stainless steel appliances by Miele, Fisher-Paykal, LG and GE Profile Series. |
|
|
|
 |
| The Miele gas-fired stove top forms the centerpiece of the L-shaped kitchen design. |
|
|
|
 |
The stove top features 2 standard burners, 1 super (wok) burner and an electric hotplate warmer.
Above the stove top is a recirculating extractor fan with bright task lighting. |
|
|
|
 |
| All kitchen counter surfaces are finished with quartzite + mica speckled granite with mosaic tile backsplashes. |
|
|
|
 |
| A formal dining area naturally adjoins the open kitchen space. |
|
|
|
 |
| Beyond the kitchen/dining area is the main custom-built sleeping area with adjoining full bathroom en suite. |
|
|
|
 |
| The main sleeping area can readily accommodate a king-size bed with side tables. |
|
|
|
 |
| A full bathroom en suite immediately adjoins the main sleeping area. |
|
|
|
 |
| The bathroom features black granite tile flooring, pedestal sink with vanity mirror and bright task lighting. |
|
|
|
 |
| A deep soaking tub is an especial delight within the build-out of the bathroom en suite. |
|
|
|
 |
| In addition to the soaking tub, the bathroom also features a large shower stall with a rain-maker shower head and a separate hand-held spray. |
|
|
|
 |
| The sleeping area is separated from the main living space with heavy curtains and pull shades. |
|
|
|
 |
| The view from the main sleeping area down the length of the loft to the windows at the front of the unit. |
|
|
|
 |
| The sealed doors of a decommissioned freight elevator recall this loft's industrial past. |
|
|
|
 |
| Adjacent to the main sleeping area is the entrance hallway to the loft. |
|
|
|
 |
| Two, large twin sliding-door storage closets flank the entrance hallway to the loft. |
|
|
|
 |
| Adjacent to the entrance of the unit is the loft's 2nd full bathroom. |
|
|
|
 |
| The 2nd full bathroom features black granite tile flooring, pedestal sink with vanity mirror and bright task lighting. |
|
|
|
 |
| The 2nd full bathroom also includes a large shower stall with specialty tile stall surround. |

| The entrance to the loft from the 3rd floor semi-private hallway. |
|
|
|
 |
| Just to the right of the loft entrance is a storage closet that houses the unit's hot water system. |
|
|
|
 |
| The semi-private 3rd floor hallway is shared with only one other neighboring unit and has space to accommodate additional storage. |
|
|
|
 |
| Access to the loft is via the common area stairwell featuring the original steel decking and cast iron balustrade. |
|
|
|
 |
| A walk-up to the 5th floor reveals the building's common coin-operated laundry and access to the common roof deck. |
|
|
|
 |
| At over 900 SF± this is only 1-of-3 common roof decks unique to the Leather District loft condominium buildings. |
|
|
|
 |
| The office towers of Boston's Financial District provide a spectacular backdrop to the roof-deck views. |
|
|
|
 |
| The roof-top vista dominates the southern sky behind the Leather District. |
|
|
|
 |
| With 360° views, the common roof deck is an ideal residential outdoor retreat. |
|
|
|
 |
| The wide stairwell makes for easy moving in. |
|
|
|
 |
| The building entrance lobby also includes secure off-street mailboxes. |
|
|
|
 |
| The front entrance to the building features an intercom buzzer system. |
