The iconic Beaux-Arts Higgins Building balances modern amenities and spectacular views with historic ironwork, imported marble, mosaic tile, caged elevators and a spectacular rooftop. This beautiful move-in ready live/work loft offers the largest and most home-like floor plan in the building. At the end of a long hall, set off from other units, it offers a serene oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The spacious foyer has built-in storage and open wall space, perfect for displaying art. The main living area features ten and a half-foot ceilings, marble wainscoting, black & white keystone mosaic tile and polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling shelving (with a library ladder), all flooded with natural light streaming through ten zinc-framed windows, which open to both city, and lush interior courtyard garden, views. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into the kitchen, renovated in the spirit of the historic Higgins with ceramic subway tile and all new stainless steel appliances. The bedroom offers an ensuite marble and tile bathroom, with a luxurious six-foot soaking tub, washer-dryer hookup, smart Nest thermostat, and central HVAC. The vibrant Higgins community enjoys on-site security and concierge (the true heart of the Higgins), courtyard garden, and a rooftop deck with extraordinary 360-degree views, gas grills, tables, and lounge areas. The Higgins is home to the famed Edison Bar and, arguably, the best Indian food in the city. There's a dog park across the street and, around the corner, the verdant Spring Street Community Garden. Located at the heart of the city, a block from City Hall, the Higgins Building is at the hub of public transportation, close to Grand Central Market, MOCA, the Broad, LA Central Library, Disney Hall, Little Tokyo, the Arts District, and Chinatown. Monthly parking is available at a discounted rate in adjacent secured parking lots. Must see to appreciate!
