About this House

What's unique:Spiral staircaseExposed brickWood floorsLarge closet
This is a one-of-a-kind apartment in the "industrial chic" style that must be seen to be appreciated. It is a *huge* amount of floor space with 16' high ceilings in the great room. Two bedrooms (one on each floor) and two full baths (also one on each floor.) The second floor features a sitting area just off the bedroom, and a large closet. Wood floors, beams and exposed brick are everywhere! The spiral staircase just adds to the "cool" factor.

This is one of six apartments in what used to be Falk Bros. Meats - we affectionately call it "the butcher shop." It operated as a butcher shop in this Cabbage Hill neighborhood for the better part of a century before it was converted (very creatively!) to residential space in the 1980's. The history practically oozes from the place!

The entry to this space is off of a private courtyard/parking lot well off the street. Downtown is just a short walk down West Strawberry Street and a few blocks east on King St.

We are looking for a tenant who can enjoy and appreciate this space as it deserves, and who can make it their own! Turnover of this space is infrequent, as you can imagine, so take advantage of this rare opportunity!

Owner pays for sewer, water, and trash. Tenant is responsible for electricity and gas. Minimum one year lease required. No smoking.
