Inside: a renovation-grade kitchen with white shaker cabinets, 5-burner gas range, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Dark LVP flooring throughout. Board-and-batten paneling. An ornamental tin ceiling in the bedroom that belongs in a design magazine. The 2nd-floor loft is your primary bedroom — spacious, multi-windowed, and anchored by a walk-in closet with double rod and shelving.
