At the far end, a full brick accent wall anchors the space, flanked by two large sliders facing 9th Street. The second bedroom, converted from the original open loft, is fully enclosed for privacy, accommodating a queen size bed plus a workspace and an expansive closet, offering significantly more function and separation than the typical open loft layout.

Controlled access and an on site concierge keep the beautifully maintained grounds feeling nothing like a typical condo building.
