The iconic JC Penny Building, originally constructed around 1905, was given a new life when it was transformed in 2016 into a mixed-use development - now home to seventeen residences, along with Maple Hall - ''a spirited bowling experience''. This stunning two-bedroom residence features an expansive great room with enormous windows and a Juliette-style balcony, soaring ceilings, and open dining area and kitchen complete with concrete countertops, sleek cabinetry and stainless appliances, including a brand new refrigerator. This impressive loft boasts an elegant blend of modern & refined-industrial styles, while retaining the historic character of the rustic exposed brick, plaster walls, and original exposed structural beams. Additional features include generous closets/storage, a separate laundry room complete with a washer/dryer, and controlled elevator access along with fob/coded access at both the front Gay Street entrance, as well as the back entrance, which opens onto the Promenade Garage (which has EV charging stations). Living here in the center of Downtown's Theater District and just one block from Market Square & Krutch Park, you can stroll outside and enjoy many of the city's most popular restaurants, cafes, farmers' markets, entertainment venues, fitness studios & galleries. And with close proximity to the World's Fair Park & greenway system, the University of Tennessee, the new Covenant Health Park stadium, artsy Emory Place, Downtown North, PetSafe dog park, and the South Waterfront, you can easily access it all from your home in the JC Penny Lofts.
