Spectacular design is on display in this rarely available two-bedroom, two-full-bath penthouse duplex in the former Barker Brothers furniture factory. The double-height ceilings with peaked roof and exposed wood trusses that are sandblasted, revealing their raw quality are a real celebration of industrial architecture. A wall of oversized windows reveals unobstructed views of the Downtown LA skyline and bathes the loft in a gorgeous afternoon light. The expansive open space of the main floor allows for several different configurations. There is an open kitchen, dining, and living area, a bonus nook that can serve as an office or bedroom, and the first of two full baths with laundry. An artfully designed wall unit was custom-built by the current owner and lives beautifully along the north wall of the loft. Ascend the open steel and wood staircase to the upper level where a generous bedroom overlooks the dramatic space below. Adjacent to the bedroom is a dressing area with a vanity and 2nd full bath. Built in 1920 and converted to a condominium in 2007, Barker Block is the Arts District’s most distinctive conversion, set in an unbeatable location with resort-style rooftop amenities that include a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, cabanas and gym. All with jetliner views of the city skyline. Home to many creatives, the Arts District is a burgeoning urban oasis where you can satiate your appetite for art and food all at once. Spend an afternoon perusing art at Hauser Wirth and Art Share L.A. Delight in one of the many cafés and lunch spots including Urth Café, Blue Bottle, Bread Lounge, and Breadlam. Dine at some of the city’s most notable restaurants including Bestia, Manuela, Bavel, and Girl & the Goat. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience urban living at its best in one of the greatest cities in the world.
