Modern Industrial Aesthetic: Features a desirable modern industrial loft design with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and exposed beams, appealing to contemporary tastes and offering flexible live/work space.
Updated Interior Finishes: Boasts a newly updated kitchen with a waterfall peninsula island, quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and a generous bathroom with dual sink vanity and tiled shower.
Valuable Building Amenities: Includes a private balcony, in-unit laundry, one assigned space in a secured garage, and access to a rooftop deck with skyline views and a BBQ area.
HOA Inclusions & Spacious Layout: HOA dues cover gas and electricity, adding value, and the 1256 sqft open-concept layout provides ample, bright, and flexible space.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $751.00 per month is substantial, potentially impacting affordability and long-term ownership costs, even with gas and electricity included.
Recent Significant Price Reduction: A notable price drop from $549,000 to $465,000 (approximately 15%) may suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially raising buyer questions about value or underlying issues.
Building Age: Constructed in 1921, the building's age, despite interior updates, could lead to concerns about potential future maintenance, infrastructure, or special assessment costs for common areas.
