Exposed brick, exposed ceilings

The Lofts at Rivertown offer a location close to so much: a quick drive along Jefferson to downtown Detroit, a walk or bike ride across Jefferson to Belle Isle (and soon, the Uniroyal site directly across will be cleaned up), a bike—or scooter—ride to the businesses in West Village, and a front row seat to the development that’s about to go down in Islandview. The Frederick Stearns Building dates back to 1899, with an addition built later. It was designed for the pharmaceutical firm, and converted to residential in the late 1980’s.

This new listing has two bedrooms, one bath, exposed everything, a new kitchen with a huge island, hardwood and carpeted floors, laundry, wood trim, and windows overlooking the pool. Raw is the keyword with this loft, with rough edges on many of the surfaces. Amenities include a fitness room, security, parking, and that pool. It’s listed through Toni Jennings at Abode Detroit.
