Built in 1923 as Safeway's corporate warehouse, Fourth Street Lofts is a classic industrial conversion with voluminous condos that offer tons of natural light. This corner unit's walls of windows pull in the light and look straight out over the surrounding warehouse district. Expansive and sunny, this home feels uplifting and exciting. And the large freight-style elevator makes every day, and special trips up and down, easy. The main living area makes full use of that volume with plenty of room for living, working, and entertaining. The kitchen offers butcher block counters, ample cabinetry & open shelving, and stainless appliances. On the opposite side of the room, a customized ledge area holds open cubby storage, reached by a library ladder. Another loft area with a low ceiling could be a meditation or reading nook, or offer additional storage. The sleeping area sits on a raised wood platform with drawer and shelf storage built into and under its base, as well as extra storage beneath it. The bathroom holds stacked laundry machines, and there are two closets with built-in storage. Bicycle Coffee, Farmhouse Thai, Reem's, Kuidaore, Yoshi's, and Dave & Buster's are all close by. I-880, a free BART shuttle, Amtrak, the SF Bay Ferry, and AC Transit's 12 and 72 lines make getting around the Bay easy. Don't miss this Jack London Square standout!
