Please note: This duplex loft was originally a 2-bedroom, but the current owner removed a wall to further open up an already large, open dining and living room to accommodate a study/den space. The wall can easily be re-built to make a 2-bedroom, 2 full bath unit. The Gunnison Street Lofts were converted in 2008 from a small warehouse built in the style of many Uptown buildings of the era, with terracotta facades containing many Art Deco flourishes. Its 22 units provide a feeling of intimacy and community. When you walk into this 1500 s.f. corner duplex unit you are immediately struck by the enormous amount of natural light from the 6 bays of 14-foot, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows on each of the east-facing and north-facing walls. This is the grand space of the communal living area. Also on this first floor is the recently-updated kitchen and updated full bathroom. Going up the stairs there is a space that could accommodate a small lounge or office, but is currently used as a bedroom. Down a short hallway, is the upstairs full bathroom, also recently renovated. Like the living space on the first floor, the master bedroom is bathed in natural light from two thermal-pane windows that fill the entire length of both corner walls. From here you can step outside to your private balcony, twice the size of most of the other units for being a corner unit. Because the top of the building facade extends 5 feet above the floor of the balcony, it has the advantage of being completely private while allowing you to view the skyline beyond, even while lying in bed. Gunnison Street Lofts is an elevator building, virtually across the street from the Red Line Lawrence stop. Each unit has a deeded parking space in a heated basement garage (sold separately). The building is down the street from the newly City-designated Uptown Entertainment District, a designation given in recognition of the two recently-renovated ornate movie palaces from the 20s - the Riviera and Aragon - revived as music venues. The famed Double Door music club is headed for another lapsed vaudeville theater nearby. The loft building is also within the newly-designated "Historical District" to pay homage to both the architecture of it's historic theaters and the ornate terracotta facades of its many commercial buildings, including Gunnison Street Lofts. Uptown is happening! Welcome, and come in style with this airy, contemporary, light-filled loft.
