At the same time, few people would enjoy occupying a space that’s too spartan. That’s where The Foundry comes in, a 1920s factory-turned-condominium-building that has managed to maintain its industrial flair while adding style and convenience. New on the market is Unit 213 in the building, located at 320 West 2nd St. in South Boston.
Lofted, 12-foot ceilings soar over the unit’s 765 square feet, making the space feel much bigger. Sun drenches the open living and kitchen area from the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows set into the exposed red brick wall. Wood planks and stunning, heavy dark wood beams accent the ceiling and draw the eye upward. The room is as perfect for entertaining in style as it is for lounging in the sunlight.
A surprising amount of cabinet space can be found in the kitchen, with matching stainless steel appliances, a subway tile-style backsplash in white, and a sunken farmhouse sink and granite countertops. Craving more eating and cooking space? The open, flexible living area allows for a rolling island.
There are two large bedrooms with spacious walk-in closets behind sliding barn doors, and even more original brick walls to offset gleaming hardwood flooring throughout. The unit has a single bathroom, but done with the same attention to detail, with a custom double vanity.
A deeded parking space deserves a special mention, as parking in South Boston is increasingly at a premium and not having to bicker over a parking spot in winter is a bonus.
Optimally located, the Foundry building is close to a growing number of hopping bars and restaurants in South Boston, a brisk walk to the bustling Seaport district for more dining options, and a 10-minute walk from the Broadway T stop.
Broker open house hours are Friday, Feb. 22, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. and general open house hours are Sunday, Feb. 24, from noon to 2 p.m.
