Step inside this rare gem of a loft, tucked in a historic building that once served as the headquarters of the Minneapolis Railway. Today, those original steel railroad beams give the space an industrial edge, while modern updates make it feel perfectly at home for todays lifestyle. Wake up to soft morning light streaming through oversized windows, grab coffee from The Wedge, and stroll through Eat Street or to the Minneapolis Institute of Art all within blocks. In the evening, host friends in your open living space, or unwind in the quiet community courtyard that feels like your own private garden oasis. This home is as practical as it is beautiful, with in-unit laundry, central air, and even a dedicated storage space. The building is secure and community-focused, with convenient bike storage for your winter rides. And with a brand-new roof and a newly implemented Hennepin County Organics recycling program, its a building that cares about its future and yours. Whether youre looking for your first city home or a stylish space to downsize, this loft delivers that perfect mix of history, character, and comfort that you wont find anywhere else. Unit comes with an outdoor parking spot and buyer gets first dibs on the long-term lease of an indoor parking spot.
