Unit 147

Some amazing transformations happen when you re-invent a warehouse from 1912 and convert it to a contemporary home for today's convenient and modern living. With so many "brand new" loft properties emerging on the market, it is a pleasant surprise when a developer takes the time to restore much of the old, along with building the new. This is certainly the case with Unit 147 at Porter 156. The 14 foot ceilings give the space volume and the classic factory floor-to-ceiling windows give it that true loft feel. Restored beautifully are the original concrete ceilings and beams along with some exposed brick, continuing the exquisite combination of the past and present.

The owner has added a second level of living space that accommodates a raised sleeping loft, offering privacy and terrific storage. A well-designed bar in the kitchen keeps the space open and provides a nice place to dine, as well as creates some additional workspace, which is truly a valued addition in an urban home. One of the best features of this loft is the enormous private deck that extends from the living area for your outdoor enjoyment and a fabulous entertainment venue. Unlike all the other decks at the building, this was originally a loading dock that has been restored into a stupendous original wooden deck with tremendous character and a sweet reminder just how far this former bra factory has come!
