Description
This is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive ground-level residence in the iconic Toy Factory Lofts, ideal for those seeking a highly flexible space that can comfortably support creative or studio use within a residential setting. Originally built in 1924, this historic 121-unit building blends preserved industrial character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Uniquely positioned as the only residential unit on the ground level, the home features a private, street-level entrance, offering exceptional flexibility for hosting and entertaining while maintaining residential privacy. The open layout naturally lends itself to studio configurations, making it especially appealing to artists, designers, photographers, collectors, and creative professionals. Soaring ceilings and oversized industrial windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing both functionality and visual impact while providing expansive wall space and adaptable floor planning. The one-bedroom layout includes two full bathrooms and a walk-in closet, allowing for clear separation between living and creative zones. The open kitchen is well equipped with an induction cooktop, dual convection oven and microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator, ideal for extended days or entertaining. Hardwood floors run throughout, and soundproof windows provide a quiet, refined interior despite the surrounding urban energy. An in-unit washer and dryer add everyday convenience. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC system installed last year, a smart Nest thermostat, and smart recessed lighting, well suited for controlled ambiance and flexible use. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities including a pool, barbecue area, landscaped garden, fire pit, expansive rooftop common areas with sweeping skyline views, and a two-level gym. A convenience store is located on-site, and Hank's Organic Supermarket & Grill is directly across the street. EV charging is available throughout the garage. Parking is a standout feature, with two assigned tandem garage spaces, offering rare convenience for owners and visitors and making this ground-level residence especially functional. Security and peace of mind are addressed with a gated entrance, video surveillance, security patrol, and full-time doorman service, complemented by active Arts District Business Improvement Team patrols. Located along one of the Arts District's most dynamic and creative corridors, you are surrounded by studios, dining, and cultural destinations, making this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking an inspiring, flexible residence with strong creative and studio potential.
