Penthouse in historic brothel, drenched in sunlight!

Soak up the sunlight in this 1000sf penthouse of this retired historic 19th-century Butchertown brothel. Blanketed in natural light, this 3rd story Garret has the feel of a sun-bleached tree-top tent, and is ideal for a couple's retreat or a friends' outing. A few of the city’s top restaurants and bars are less than a block walk away. Endless other drinking, shopping, and attractions are nearby in Nulu, Frankfort Ave, and the Waterfront.

The Space:
Thirteen skylights and windows pour light into this large open space. Plants abound. The space is replete with sitting areas; lounge amenities include 5G WiFi, Netflix, Amazon Alexa, and smart lighting. The Crosley is stacked with vinyl. A live-edge bar offers a casual spot to share a drink before a night out, and a bistro table offers a cozy perch for dining in. A queen canopy bed crowns the large bedroom, which is trimmed with plenty of mirrors and a space to get ready for a night out.

Guest Access:
- Street parking can be found all along Story Ave.
- Guests have their own marked stairwell entry on the Frankfort Ave side of the building.
- Electronic lock code for this stairwell entry and the Garret entry will be provided the day before check-in.
- This is a 3rd floor unit with access by stairwell. The Garret can be found at the top of the stairwell, marked with a 4.
- Note that the back courtyard and balcony are to be avoided due to ongoing renovation work.

Worth noting:
This unit has an amazing location, but it is a busy corner. You may occasionally hear traffic, pedestrians, or construction noise, but it is fairly muffled by the apartment's insulation and height above the street - only our visitors from rural areas seem to notice the noise.
