Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, your ship has at last come in.
The new building full of brand spanking new gorgeous rentals on Kent St. x West St. and Franklin are available. And guess who can get you in there first… (?)
Show ‘em what they’ve got, Rod:
- From the outside, a completely respectable reno. Sand blasted brick and subtle detail restoration of what was the “original” pencil factory.
1br w/Private Outdoor Space
- Polished poured concrete floors and a skylight gives you some serious glow for this ground floor 1br with outdoor space. Built-in AC units keeping things chill in here but the rest of the building has central air/heat.
- There’s your private entrance to your private patio outdoor space of total serenity.
- This be the actual bedroom of the 1br we be discussing here. Sleeps one comfortably, two preferred (wink-wink)… or three? Naughty naughty!
- All the bathrooms, aside from the half baths, are like this. Full tub, sinks with drawers, toilet seats with plastic covers on them.
- The developers of this place actually got it right – DEEP closets all over every unit. In the bedrooms, in the hallways. Explore your inner hoarder.
- You’ll need to squint and use your imagination slightly here. Aside from it being slightly blurry, there will one day be a nice new energy-efficient fridge and dishwasher in those large gaps to the left and right of the frame. Otherwise, this is basically the kitchen layout for all the units. Bon appetite!
1br Upper Floor
- Hellllloooo? Echo!!!! Sloth… love… Chunk!!! There are some 1brs in this building that can convert to 2brs because they’re so damn huge. This is one example.
- An 180 degree turn to the left from the above photo reveals this. In between those two windows along the right side is where a pressure wall could be installed to add another bedroom. Up to you.
- A peak around the archway reveals the bedroom in which you may find yourself sleeping soundly. While window does happen to face Kent St., I don’t think a car has driven down it since the late 1800s.
- If I may interject a moment of reality here, heat and cool are controlled by the tenant in all units… which means they are paid for by the tenant. If you keep it at off all the time, you won’t pay a dime.
1br w/Balcony & City Views
- Ok, back to the fun and excitement. View-oooo-oooooos! This unit will have a balcony where you can hang out with your coffee and terry cloth leisure suit.
- The living room… oh, and there’s the door to that balcony I was telling you about.
- Some more imagination kitchen. These are done now so when we view, you won’t have to envision anything.
- It’s like a spa in here.
2br Duplex w/Private Outdoor Space
- Yup. Duplexes. Crazy space and a second floor for office, recreation, and parties when your parents go out of town.
- Another look at the main room and hallway. That banged up door on the left leads to your private patio shangri-la.
- This is the stairwell of another duplex also on the ground floor but you can see how these units are all very different. Lots of possibilities for good livin… for instance, here you can stage your own performance of Macbeth.
- This is the living room attached to the photo above. Dope.
- “Yeah, hi, I’m gonna need two closets right next to each other.” Sure, no problem.
- Again, heat/cool not included (sorry Charlie).
- Prices are not fully determined but 1bs are between 1900-3200 and the 2brs go as high as 4200 but that’s the ceiling.
- Move-in is looking like mid-September but could be November 1st.
Give me a holler or comment on this post if you’d like to view. I’ll be there all day Thursday 8/25 giving special guided tours if you’re around.
