The century-old brick factory was converted into 13 townhouse lofts in 1996. This unit’s owner, Rachel Low, the executive director of the Eatable food film festival, lived here until recently. Now, she’s renting the place out. It’s available immediately.

Possible deal breaker

Don’t expect any concierge service or shared amenities in this condo building: like a lot of loft conversions, it doesn’t have any of that stuff. What you see is what you get.
