1501 Locust St

Large (1642 sq. ft.) loft condo with splendid view of downtown skyline. The unit is on the tenth floor in the northeast corner of theTerra Cotta Lofts building, so it receives bright morning light but is sheltered from the hot afternoon sun. The Terra Cotta Building is two blocks away from the Central Library, one block from restaurants on Washington , and an easy walk to the hockey and soccer stadiums. It is also a very quiet building--there is about 18 inches of concrete between each floor, so noise from adjacent units is hardly ever a problem. ------ This living room has views to the North (City Museum), Northeast (Stan Musial Bridge--Edwardsville) and the East (Downtown/Arch) . There are two full baths, a walk-in closet, 11 ft. ceilings, hardwood floors, granite kitchen counters, and a washer/dryer combo. HVAC is geothermal. The only utilities you pay for are electric and your internet/phone. Rent includes a reserved space in the Terra Cotta Garage. Recent updates ..kitchen llighting, ceiling fan in living room, fan/lights in both bedrooms, bathroom grab bars. Except for photos from the rooftop deck, photos of the skyline are taken from inside the unit itself. There are 99 residences in the building, all are individually owned condominiums. The building regulations are strict but sensible: they prohibit short-term rentals (no AirBB), and ensure that people can get a good night's rest. The building has a good mix of residents, young singles, young marrieds, middle-age professionals, retirees. The residents treat the building as a neighborhood, using the rooftop deck as a communal "front porch" and during good weather regularly gathering for drinks, dinner, and general conversation. One year lease. Besides the garage spot, monthly rent includes one storage unit in the building basement. It also covers all utility exenses except for electric and internet/phone. Cats are fine. Dogs are another issue because of the hardwood floors. But we can discuss. The rooftop deck has a gas grill and seating for about 30 people, plus a large conference room. Strict no-smoking policy.
