About this home

This is the last loft of its kind at Porter 156 and is one of our favorites b/c this loft has tremendous open space, 2 full baths, a wall of windows for optimal light, a stunning kitchen, skylight, options for separate sleeping areas, air-conditioning, tandem garage parking and an oversized private deck perched over a 40 acre park. Add the convenience of the T, easy commute to Downtown and with its DRASTICALLY REDUCED PRICE it is the right time to buy!
