Experience luxury living with a modern urban vibe unique to The Fire Station Lofts. Truly in a class by itself, the West Loft is an incomparable condominium space in the heart of downtown Washington’s vibrant and thriving Historic Harbor District which must be seen to be believed. Constructed in 1912, the building itself has a rich, storied past as first a shirt factory, then in 1924 becoming the original Washington fire station, & along the way also home to USO dances and big band music during WWII. The meticulous three-year long renovation completed in 2011 incorporated modern, practical conveniences while giving the appropriate attention to retaining original defining features & character of this historic structure. Via your private Market Street entrance, you’ll immediately be wowed by the original red oak stairs leading to the main hall illuminated by sparkling crystal chandeliers. Entering the West Loft you are greeted by gleaming original red oak floors, soaring 24ft ceilings and 7ft windows overlooking Market St which allow the natural light to flood in! A fully-equipped cook’s kitchen incorporating innovative under-stairs storage & granite eat-in bar opens onto an expansive living room showcasing an incredible fireplace made from a solid slab of emerald onyx. A formal dining area offers plenty of space for entertaining dinner guests. Two separate suites w/private baths flank the main living area, equipped w/laundry nook & spacious walk-in closets. The stunning open staircase leads you to the mezzanine level perfect for a home office or den, overlooking the main level. The extraordinary use of space continues from the mezzanine where you will access a short flight of stairs opening onto the rooftop terrace, newly upgraded with durable and beautiful composite decking, and complete with the grand finale: a breathtaking vista overlooking the city all the way to the Pamlico River! Other recent excellent upgrades include new roof in 2017,
