The Assay Loft, 118 Front Street, No. 2, Old Town
$1,250,000
Active. Showings by appointment.
Whole second floor, 13-foot ceilings.
The Assay Loft is the whole second floor of a 1908 brick building on Front Street, three doors up from our office. The ceilings are 13 feet. Seven arched windows face the street and four more look east toward the ridge, so morning light crosses the full depth of the room. The 2019 renovation kept the brick, the fir floor and the old freight door. It added a kitchen, two baths and the insulation the building never had. A shop on the ground floor closes at 6. You'll hear Front Street on Saturday mornings in summer, when the market sets up. One deeded parking space sits off the alley behind.
