About this home

One of the more architecturally interesting lofts at Porter 156, this offers an incredible floor plan w/ extra alcove spaces to create additional rooms or keep it all open. You will love the factory features with the original beams, brick & 18 foot exposed concrete ceilings. 2 levels of living space includes a private bedroom, while leaving the rest of the space open as a true loft should be. With in-unit laundry, air-conditioning, stunning stainless kitchen and garage pkg this is one of a kind!
