Big windows! Big character! Your own little corner of Lakeview. This sun-filled northwest corner loft brings together soaring 13-foot timber ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized 6- and 8-foot-tall windows framing leafy treetop views. Set back from neighboring buildings and facing away from Belmont, it has the open, airy feel that makes a true loft so special. The current owner has already tackled the big updates: a replaced washer and dryer, new hardwood floors in the lofted bedroom, refinished hardwood floors throughout, a beautiful gut-renovated bathroom, and a new kitchen island and countertop. You get to focus on the fun part-making it yours! The spacious living area is ready for lazy Sundays and a very ambitious plant collection. Huge corner windows and tall off-white drapes set the scene, while a wood-burning fireplace makes staying in an easy sell. The kitchen keeps everyone connected with an island offering built-in storage and room for stools, plus stainless steel appliances, a mix of white, frosted-glass, and stainless steel cabinetry, and a tall pantry cabinet. Upstairs, the lofted bedroom has nearly 15 feet of adjustable Elfa-organized closet space. An additional storage locker, bike storage, and your own outdoor parking space are included. Take the hangout upstairs to the large shared rooftop deck, where skyline views set the backdrop for grilling, catching up with friends, or unwinding after work. One block from the Belmont Red, Brown, and Purple Line station, with Lakeview's restaurants, coffee spots, shopping, and entertainment close by. The park and lakefront are a short walk away, too. Morning coffee, an easy commute, dinner out, or a bike ride by the water-there's a lot to love right outside your door. Additional parking space available for rent as well.
