Nestled in the heart of Calgary's Beltline, this extraordinary red brick loft offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s rich history. The exterior retains its original red‑brick facade with large multi‑pane industrial windows and restored masonry, presenting a distinctive streetscape presence. Constructed in 1912 for the Imperial Tobacco Company by the renowned A. Dale and Associates, the architectural firm behind the iconic Calgary Tower, this building underwent a stunning conversion to lofts in 1995. An impressive heavy double‑wood entry door opens to a tiled foyer and hallway leading into the loft, hinting at the building's careful preservation. For the first time ever, these timeless residences are available for sale, blending historical charm with modern sophistication. Offering over 1,100 SqFt, this expansive loft exudes character with its original brick walls, exposed wood beams, and soaring ceilings. Wide‑plank hardwood floors run throughout the main living area, and original heavy timber posts add palpable industrial character. A wall of windows floods the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance reminiscent of a classic New York City loft; the wood‑framed, multi‑pane windows sit on deep sills and frame views of the downtown skyline. The open‑concept layout is thoughtfully designed, offering endless possibilities for both living and working. A private den provides the perfect space for a home or business office, while two generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a five‑piece Jack and Jill bathroom plus there is an additional three‑piece bathroom. One of the bathrooms features a window above a modern vanity and tile flooring, blending contemporary fixtures with period details. The galley‑style kitchen features maple cabinetry with under mount lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a seamless flow into the dining and living areas. Whether you envision this space as your personal sanctuary or a dynamic live/work environment, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination. Beyond the loft itself, the building offers an array of amenities, including a gym, a games room (pictured with a pool table, bar area and pendant lighting), and a rooftop patio with breathtaking views of the Downtown Skyline. The building presents classic street‑level industrial charm on a vibrant Beltline block, and an above‑ground parking spot is also included, ensuring convenience in this vibrant urban setting. This is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle. A rare blend of history, elegance, and modernity, this loft is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity to own a truly unique piece of Calgary’s architectural heritage. (id:1945)
