This second floor loft is located in the Cannery section of Brickbottom Artist’s Loft Building with views of an award-winning courtyard/sculpture garden and Boston’s Back Bay. The floor plan is ideal for urban dwellers who appreciate loft living. The architect and interior designer owners carefully redesigned the layout in order to maintain its open quality, while maximizing storage space. Taking advantage of 10’-6” ceiling heights, multiple levels were constructed to increase the overall square footage. The owners designed custom sliding doors to creatively conceal the multiple storage spaces throughout the loft. The kitchen was renovated in 2006 with European cabinetry with frosted glass doors, solid oak counters and stainless steel panels for the backsplash. Contemporary finishes run throughout this light-filled loft, including corrugated fiberglass, artful carpet tiles, hardwood floors, unique pendant and track lighting, and glazed porcelain tiles. The bathroom boasts floor to ceiling marble-like porcelain tile and pedestal sink. Property was appraised at $375,000 by Citizens Bank in 2005. Neighborhood Description Building: The Brickbottom Artist’s Loft Building has one of the best-run condominium associations in the Somerville & Cambridge area. It is on the only buildings with an active artist population, a gallery, art associates and ongoing events and shows. One does not have to be an artist to live here, however. The original structure was once an A & P food packing plant. It is now a 151-unit loft complex that consists of three connected buildings with an interior courtyard/ sculpture garden. The main building, known as “The Cannery” has two passenger and one freight elevator. (C215 is located in this building on the 2nd floor.) The onsite manager has been here since the inception of the association in 1989. A crew of workmen keeps the property impeccably well maintained. There is an interior mailroom and phone/intercom system at the entry. Brickbottom is walking distance from the shops and restaurants of Union Square, adjacent to East Cambridge and the upcoming new community North Point. There is easy access to Route 93 and Boston, with Lechmere T-station in walking distance.
