Property Description
Loft-Like 1 Bed 1 Bath with 15-Foot Ceilings in The Zipper Building.
Welcome to Residence 3C at The Zipper Building — a striking, loft-inspired home defined by soaring 15-foot ceilings, oversized north-facing windows, and a seamless blend of historic character and modern design. Originally a 20th-century zipper factory, The Zipper has been thoughtfully converted into a boutique 41-unit condominium that preserves its industrial roots while offering contemporary luxury. Authentic architectural elements and a distinctive aesthetic set the tone for a residence that feels both timeless and unique.
Inside, natural light pours into the expansive living and dining area, where dramatic ceiling heights create an open, airy atmosphere rarely found at this price point.
The kitchen pairs clean, modern design with high-end functionality, featuring Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, a Fisher & Paykel range, Samsung microwave, and sleek cabinetry complemented by stone countertops.
The spacious bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, while the bathroom is finished with refined, spa-inspired details.
