Welcome to Desoto Lofts, a collection of 10 newly renovated apartments in a historic 1913 building in the heart of Downtown Memphis's South Main District. Originally built as the Desoto Hotel and later home to a Masonic Lodge, this one-of-a-kind property blends more than a century of Memphis history with beautifully updated interiors. Each 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment features original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and stylish gold fixtures. Residents also enjoy gated parking and a covered community patio with grills. Pet friendly!
This unique 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom townhouse-style unit is located on the second and third floors, creating a distinct separation between the living and sleeping spaces. The open living and kitchen area features a large breakfast bar with room for seating, while the kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and counter space. Upstairs, the bedroom features multiple closets, including a laundry closet with washer and dryer. The private en suite bathroom includes a shower/tub combo and retro-inspired tile flooring that complements the historic character of the building.
Located in the vibrant South Main Arts District, Desoto Lofts is close to restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, shopping, nightlife, the National Civil Rights Museum, Tom Lee Park, the Mississippi River, and more.
