Stunning, one-of-a-kind loft building with prime main-floor commercial frontage—and a 20-year renter-plus a dramatic two-story loft above. Originally configured as a professional photo studio, the space features two darkrooms and a flexible floor plan ideal for creative, live-work, or mixed-use configurations.
Property highlights
Inviting street-level retail/atelier space with generous display windows and direct access from the sidewalk.
Spacious two-level loft with open-plan living areas and abundant natural light.
Multiple studio spaces: a large, flexible studio on the third level centered around a substantial island kitchen; a second studio/living area on the second level; and additional workspace adjacent to a darkroom—ideal for artists, designers, photographers, or entrepreneurs.
Two full baths, one half-bath, and a small private bedroom tucked on the fourth level for discreet sleeping quarters or a quiet office.
Ample built-in storage plus two dedicated darkrooms that offer unique utility or can be repurposed for specialty uses.
Warm industrial character throughout: exposed brick, original beams, and rich woodwork create an authentic loft ambiance that balances historic detail with modern potential.
Superb downtown views and immediate walkability to J.D. Hoyt’s, Twins games, restaurants, and cultural venues.
This property is a true blank canvas—move-in ready for creatives who value distinctive architecture and adaptable space, or an investor seeking a standout commercial/residential opportunity in a vibrant urban core. Don’t miss this rare offering.
