1920's Warehouse in Richmond Transformed into Modern Industrial Loft Rugged and yet polished, stylish and yet surprisingly understated, this Old Town Manchester Loft is many worlds in one. A 900-square-foot loft in a warehouse from the 1920's, this dashing modern industrial is nestled along the James River in Richmond Virginia, and draws you in instantly with its steely, flamboyant vibe. Occupying the fourth floor of a five-story concrete and brick warehouse originally built for coffee grinding and packing, this modern industrial loft enjoys south facing corner exposures and factory-style windows that provide for all-day natural light and panoramic vistas of Downtown Richmond and gritty industrial rail yards. Exposed brick walls and a polished floor blend in beautifully with the industrial character of the space. Existing partitions of the loft are done away with and every space inside has been meticulously revamped, redesigned and integrated to evoke a contemporary sheen. Yet, a distinct industrial undertone runs throughout thanks to the brick walls, large concrete columns, exposed piping and twelve foot ceilings, which blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Earthy tones and metallic accents, modern decor and unique lighting fixtures enliven the industrial interior. A large mid-room octagon column sets the kitchen visually apart from the living and resting area. Six foot bookshelves leverage the sequential window spacing on the west wall and encapsulate the work and living spaces with a charming and intellectual canvas. The resting area is minimal, inviting and a touch masculine, and adjoins a spacious yoga and meditation zone in the corner of the loft, which seamlessly highlights and integrates with a large corner column and exposed copper piping, putting the final touches on this superb transformation. Enjoy access to the James River right across the street for kayaking, fishing and camping. 6-month minimum, $50 fee for credit check and income verification required, auto debit for rent required, fully furnished, owner pays electric, wifi, water, sewer.
