Available for rent is this true urban South Boston loft, located in the City Point neighborhood.
The large open kitchen makes for a home entertaining space that is as beautiful as it is functional.
This loft style condo is one of 32 units in a mid sized elevator building.
The design of the loft retains some of the original elements recalling the building's past.
Brick, beams, and hardwood floors with oversized windows are part of the charm that makes the loft special.
Imported Mexican tile flooring delineates the kitchen area from the main space. The granite finish of the kitchen counter has been extended with glass trimming to create an expanded breakfast bar.
Original rock maple + oak flooring has been polished and preserved throughout the loft. Six oversized south-facing windows flood the loft with natural light.
This contemporary kitchen features maple cabinetry and a full complement of stainless steel appliances. A tile backsplash has been installed behind the kitchen counter and range.
The gas-fired oven/range features a re-circulating extractor fan.
A formal dining area is ideally situated adjacent to the open kitchen.
A uniquely designed sleeping area has been incorporated into the build-out of the loft.
Adjoining the main space is a full bathroom. The bathroom features custom finishes including vanity and cabinetry for storage needs.
The sleeping area can easily accommodate a queen-size bed with side tables. Off the room is a large walk-in wardrobe with California Closet built-ins.
The fully enclosed bonus room with pocket door can be used for a home office, guest room, or additional storage.
A laundry closet featuring a stack washer/dryer unit adjoins the kitchen.
The building features an elevator.
The lobby has been tiled with polished slate for design and aesthetic as well as added durability.
Past renovations to the lobby include new industrial lighting and paint work.
The industrial look + feel of the lobby is further defined by the back-lit, suspended wire-mesh ceiling.
The building features secure, off-street mailboxes as well as a package drop area.
Access to the building is secure via a lobby entrance intercom system.
The main entrance to the 881 East 1st street loft condominiums as well as a ramp to the building's main entrance provides disabled access.
Residents benefit from a private, off-street parking lot — one space (#20) is deeded to this unit and is included in the rent.
Adjacent to the building is a large common grassy backyard that includes a common barbecue and plenty of outdoor space for summer activities. This green space extends all the way to East 2nd Street.
Other outdoor amenities include a 5 minute walk to Castle Island, Lagoon Beach, and miles of newly refurbished boardwalks around Pleasant Bay.
Commuting solutions include the #7 bus that will take you to the subway as well as into downtown Boston and the Seaport District.
