A Corner Unit with a Loft in Lovejoy

This south- and east-facing corner unit is another residence in the Lovejoy Lofts, a converted turn-of-the-century school near Stanton Park. The loft-like features can be seen throughout with high ceilings, polished concrete floors, color-blocked exposed brick walls, exposed HVAC and sprinklers, and tall windows.

The bathroom is self-enclosed and sits beneath a loft space accessible by ladder. The unit also comes with a parking space.
