About This Home
As of October 2021If you love architectural design, history and comfort, this property is for you! There is no one above you, below you, and just one shared wall, which has added soundproofing. This townhouse loft has its main entrance on the 3rd floor, with 12ft ceilings and a generous amount of skylights (that come with a remote control to allow air flow) making this unit sunny and bright. The original architecture of this industrial warehouse is visible throughout with its wood beams, exposed pipes, hardwood floor and gorgeous brick walls giving you the ability to seamlessly merge old and new, history and present, art and convenience. The open floor plan is what we currently expect and aspire to - walk into a massive living room, dining room, kitchen combination for easy entertaining or cozy days. A 3/4 bathroom is conveniently located on this floor. Either walk down the inside stairs, or come in through its own front door on the 2nd floor, where a quaint courtyard awaits you. As you access the 2nd floor, you have a large bedroom that can be a work space or both. The full bathroom is Japanese inspired, with enough shower heads to release all the stresses of the day. The laundry area and the tankless water heater are conveniently located behind a set of discrete doors. The main bedroom is large enough to become two bedrooms, or to have a large lounge or working area... maybe your own walk-in closet, imagination is your only challenge here! The current closet doors were imported from Egypt and they rival any Arts District work! As for history... The Craig Co. Wholesale Grocery Building was built in 1907, a rare example of an industrial warehouse designed by the master architectural firm of Morgan & Walls (https://www.laconservancy.org/architects/morgan-walls), owned by a woman, Nancy Tuttle Craig, in the early 1900s, eventually becoming what is now known as the Toy Warehouse. La Grande Station, located just a block from this building, on 2nd and Santa Fe, was the main terminal station from 1893 to 1939, and the location for the filming of "Meet Me in St Louis.' This building was renovated and converted into twenty spacious lofts in 2001. Close to everything! https://onthegrid.city/los-angeles/arts-district; https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/visit/a-visual-walking-tour-of-the-arts-district-in-downtown-la Come live where eating, shopping, art, community and relaxation come together! 2 tandem parking spaces deeded with the property, along with a storage space. Pets allowed.
