Despite being built in 1907, this loft unit has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, transforming it into a modern, move-in ready space. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinetry, and clean finishes. The bathroom is fully updated with a modern double vanity, stylish fixtures, and tiling. Beautiful rich hardwood floors are present throughout, and the exposed brick walls and ceilings are intentional design elements of the loft aesthetic, not signs of age. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Arts District Location: Strategically located in the highly sought-after Arts District, offering convenient access to Sci-ARC, vibrant retail, and diverse restaurants, including nearby Little Tokyo.
Authentic Loft Character: The unit boasts significant character with beautiful hardwood floors, two massive original brick walls, and exposed ceilings, reflecting its historic 'Toy Warehouse' origins.
Live/Work Versatility: Explicitly designated for live/work use, this spacious loft provides flexibility for residents seeking a dynamic urban lifestyle and professional space.
Premium In-Unit Amenities: Features a large open kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, and the significant advantage of two subterranean parking spaces plus a dedicated storage unit.
City Lights View: The property offers desirable city lights views, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and overall living experience.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The substantial monthly association fee of $1,017.40 significantly adds to the cost of ownership and may deter some potential buyers.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a 1,217 sqft live/work unit, functionality may be constrained for occupants, especially those utilizing the space for both living and working or entertaining.
Potential for Outdated Building Systems: Built in 1907, the building's age, while contributing to its character, may imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, lack of central air conditioning) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
