About this property
BRIGHT,CLEAN,MODERN-Perfect for Work, Getaway, Ask RE discount for Extended stay
Once a storefront church, later renovated as an architecture office. Eleven foot ceilings, painted wood floors. Filled with natural light from a wall of north facing laminated glass, etched up to eye level for privacy. Separate Bedroom area with king size memory foam mattress, and living room with pull-out couch. Full bathroom with tub/shower, walk-in closet, and a brand new kitchenette. Modern plumbing and electrical, central heating, great night lighting. Mostly new furnishings.
There is a lot of north-facing glass, and most has black-out window coverings. No privacy issues, but for those who want complete black-out shades on every window, this isn't for you.

Why they chose this property
I was thirty years old, recently graduated from architecture school. This was a beautiful 1906 craftsman with a storefront church added to the front. It had had a fire and been abandoned with the rain coming in for years. I didn't want to see it torn down, and it was the only thing I could afford to buy. So I renovated enough to move in, and then little by little over the years upgraded and replaced everything except the charm.
What makes this property unique
Historic Charm with modern architectural sensibility. All modernized plumbing, electrical and Heating, new kitchen, new furnishings. High ceilings and great light- day and night.
