Stunning 2 story loft in Metropolis Lofts, ideally located in River Oaks Shopping Center, just steps from restaurants and shopping. 
The foyer features plush dark carpet with concrete below. Many owners have a stained concrete foyer to continue the stained concrete from the building hallway into the home. 
Detail shot of the foyer with barn doors concealing the downstairs bedroom with an enormous walk in closet. 
The current owners updated the kitchen and extended the kitchen island in 2020 with new cabinets, new quartz countertops, ample storage, and new appliances. 
The views through the two story windows from the kitchen make this the perfect place to cook and entertain family and guests.
Recessed lighting and the new pendants installed in 2020 make the space light and bright. The refrigerator and freezer are included in the sale. 
The job built oak floors and beautiful chandelier add warmth and charm to the two story living room, bathed in light from the double height windows. 
The walls provide the perfect canvas for oversized pieces of artwork. 
Imagine the dinner parties you could have beside the oversized windows with views of Downtown Houston!
The windows are dressed with remote controlled art shades for privacy in the evenings. The east facing view provides morning sun to start your day.

Another two story wall for gorgeous pieces of art!
The oversized downstairs bedroom is the perfect respite from a long day. 
This perspective from the downstairs bedroom shows the barn doors and foyer. 
The downstairs bathroom was completely remodeled in 2022 to create a powder room with door, sink, and mutli-function bidet commode. A wall was added to create privacy for the shower area with separate vanity. There is also a wall of storage behind tall doors in the bathroom for additional functionality. 
The powder room area inside the first floor bathroom. Note the remote for the commode. 
The loft space has been staged as a primary suite with a walk in closet and Downtown views. 
The space could also be utilized as a study, informal living space, or a game room. 
From this perspective, you see the door to the walk in closet, the hall where the full upstairs bath is located, and the additional bedroom at the rear of the loft in the distance. 
The upstairs bath features good storage and drawers at the vanity and the option to create a private water closet. 
The oversized shower could be reimagined to add a spa like shower with freestanding tub.
The rear bedroom area is presently staged as a sitting area and study. Many owners in the building make this space the primary bedroom. The door is to another walk in closet!
From this vantage point, you can see how easy it would be to add a wall with a door to make this bedroom private, as many others in the building have done. 
The views from the loft space are amazing! Some homeowners in the building have replaced the drywall half wall with either glass or industrial styled iron and wire railings to take advantage of the views while seated in the loft space. 
The views of Downtown are beautiful both day and night!
The balconies on the 2nd floor of the building are larger than the balconies on higher floors. 
The pots and plants provide privacy and are included in the sale. The staged outdoor furniture speaks to the scale and amount of space available on the balcony.
