Something lofty brewing in JP
We’re not sure if there’s a way to filter for “artsy industrial loft” on real estate databases, but if you have your heart set on that exposed brick and wood-beam ceiling aesthetic, 251 Heath St.’s Unit 225 is your condo dream come true.
Located in the heart of Jamaica Plain close to the Longwood Medical Area, the Heath Street T stop, and green space galore, the American Brewery Lofts building is a hip conversion of a — you guessed it — historic brewery building that retains that factorylike grit while adding a surprising amount of warmth into a spacious 1,319 square feet.
Weary of a larger community and making peace with many neighbors and their attendant quirks? Unit 225 occupies an optimal position above the guest parking entry archway so you have no neighbors above, below, behind, or in front!
Set up in true loft style with an open floor plan and 15-foot ceilings, the unit enjoys sunny southeastern exposure, making sure the unit gets plenty of natural light from the arched factory windows. Granite counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a wholly unique salvaged stained glass dome make for a kitchen that fits right in with the rustic motif without sacrificing function. There’s good-looking storage, too, something that’s also thoughtfully added throughout the condo through builtin shelving.
The designated dining space — although you can certainly make it whatever you want — flows right into a living space, ensconced in exposed red brick, before wrapping into the bedroom area.
Here, there’s a generous walk-in closet that houses the in-unit laundry, and a full bath — renovated this year to add a jacuzzi tub — with architectural and decorative accents and contemporary gold hardware.
Shared amenities in the building include a courtyard with grills and lounge space and a fitness area.
The sale of the unit, on the market for $825,000, is represented by the Nextdoor Realty Team with Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-543-4185. Two garage parking spaces and a storage unit are included.
