One of the lofts is adjacent to a bathroom and has a layout that feels like a quaint master suiteoffering a sense of separation and privacy while maintaining the loft's open character.Step inside to discover soaring open-beam ceilings and a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A compliant wood-burning stove set on a stone hearth anchors the space, offering a cozy winter retreat.
