Welcome to 78 Watson, Unit 3, a 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath luxury loft condo in the historic Carola Building. Built in 1912, the seven-story Carola is part of Brush Park's architectural history. Originally an apartment and extended-stay building, it was later reimagined as luxury loft condominiums, preserving the raw concrete, soaring ceilings and distinctive character that make it special.

The primary suite features concrete floors, large windows, a gigantic walk-in closet and oversized bath with soaking tub, separate shower, large vanity and laundry closet. The second bedroom is spacious and sunny with loft ceilings. Beautiful barn doors give the third bedroom flexibility as a bedroom, home office or den. The expansive open living space offers room for entertaining, dining and relaxing, including a window nook perfect for reading, music or enjoying the light. The newly renovated open kitchen features brand-new quartz countertops, a huge island with seating, refinished cabinetry, newer appliances and upgraded backsplash. It flows into the dining area and out to the covered rear porch. A huge walk-in storage room could easily become an oversized pantry.
