Pros & Cons

Architecturally Remodeled Penthouse: A light-filled corner penthouse unit, professionally remodeled by Hughes Umbanhowar Architects, featuring desirable industrial loft elements like exposed brick, steel beams, and 10-foot ceilings, ensuring a unique and sophisticated living space.
Exceptional Building Amenities: The Barker Block building provides resort-style amenities including a rooftop deck with cinematic city views, hot tub, pool, barbecue, 24-hour security, a gym, private parking, and common gardens with a fire pit.
Premium Unit Features: The loft boasts 1,710 sqft with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including modern upgrades like a pull-out pantry and steam shower, plus valuable additional in-building storage.
Pet-Friendly & Secure Environment: The building is pet-friendly and offers 24-hour security, contributing to a comfortable and safe living environment for residents and their companions.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $778.0 per month is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Potential for Urban Noise: While the vibrant Arts District location is a major draw, its high-density urban environment with numerous establishments nearby may lead to increased noise levels and foot traffic, potentially impacting tranquility.
Historic Building Maintenance: As a building constructed in 1910, despite unit renovations, there's a potential for higher ongoing maintenance costs for common areas or future special assessments to address aging infrastructure, which could be a concern for long-term ownership.
