A rare 4th-floor corner penthouse loft offering the space, light and character of a house with the ease of downtown living. Soaring 17-ft ceilings, skylights and windows on two sides flood the open main level with natural light and cross-breezes. The high-quality 2023 renovation of this 2 bed, 2 bath home will impress the most discerning buyer: engineered wood flooring, chef’s kitchen with island, quartz counters, wood cabinetry, Fisher & Paykel appliances, custom built-ins and in-suite laundry. Two updated bathrooms feature heated floors, a walk-in shower, and a soaker tub with bidet toilet. Smart switches control hot water and baseboard heat from your phone.

Upstairs, the spacious loft bedroom opens to a private 196 sf south-facing deck with sweeping views, perfect for entertaining, urban gardening and sunsets. Tucked back from the street and bordered by mature trees on two sides, this quiet corner retreat feels worlds away from downtown, yet is just steps to it.
