The history

The 32-unit Glebe Lofts is in the southern wing of the still-operational Riverdale Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1907. A previous owner of this unit added birch hardwood floors, upgraded the kitchen and installed a custom closet system in the master bedroom. The current owner bought the property in late 2017, and plans to lease it out until he retires and moves in.
