About this home
Historic character, soaring loft volume and a story no other home can tell. Welcome to one of the largest residences in Franklin Lofts, where the former Westside YMCA has found new life. This unit was once the building's boiler room, reimagined as a dramatic two-story loft that honors its industrial past. You'll know this one is different the moment you step in. Freshly polished concrete floors lead past an inlaid compass rose to an arched brick doorway, its layered-paint brick showing more than a century of history. The heavy steel door is believed to be the original boiler room door. Through the arch, a balcony overlooks the main living space below. Exposed timber ceilings, exposed ductwork, and abundant brick make every view a conversation piece. The heart of the home is the jaw-dropping two-story open living and kitchen space, with soaring ceilings and walls of brick, made for entertaining. The primary suite is a retreat in itself, with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite: a tiled walk-in shower with body spray nozzles and a dual sink vanity. The second bedroom offers double closets and its own ensuite bath with a tub-shower combo. The in-unit washer and dryer stay, and the storage is unmatched. Two surface parking spaces in the gated lot complete the package. Head up to the shared rooftop deck for sweeping views of Lake Erie and the city skyline. Franklin Lofts wears its history well, from the lobby set in the former gymnasium to its intricate brickwork. Step out the door to the Hingetown's neighborhood and Ohio City's biggest green space close by. Only minutes to West Side Market, Downtown, Gordon Square and Edgewater's beach and lakefront. From boiler room to one-of-a-kind home: this is city living with genuine character.
