## Property Overview

Loft-Like 2 Bed + Home Office with 15-Foot Ceilings in The Zipper Building.

Welcome to Residence 3A 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.

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. A custom-built window bench provides the perfect space to relax, while adding both charm and functionality.

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.

Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home enhance both livability and storage, including:

- Built-in bookshelves in the home office (2021)
- Custom window bench seating in the living room (2021)

The spacious bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, while the bathroom is finished with refined, spa-inspired details. While the home office allows for extra flexibility as a work-from-home setup or guest space. A Miele washer and dryer (installed 2022) adds everyday convenience.

Additional highlights include hardwood flooring throughout and custom electric window treatments, including blackout shades in the bedrooms.
