Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1996 conversion of a historical building and maintains a functional but dated interior. The kitchen and bathroom feature 1990s-era honey oak cabinetry, basic fixtures, and older appliances. While the industrial elements like concrete floors and brick walls are well-maintained, the overall finishes reflect the age of the conversion and lack recent modern updates.
Located in the historical Calou Linen Building, the unit features sought-after industrial aesthetics including tall ceilings, concrete floors, and original brick accents.
The south-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows provide exceptional natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the open floor plan.
The 'blank canvas' design and live/work zoning offer maximum flexibility for creative professionals to customize the space as a residence, studio, or office.
As a ground-floor unit, the property may experience higher levels of street noise and reduced privacy compared to upper-level units in the building.
The $570 monthly association fee is relatively high in proportion to the listing price, which may impact the debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
The blend of active businesses and residential units within the complex may not appeal to buyers seeking a traditional, quiet residential neighborhood feel.
