Architectural Conversion & Design
The restoration process meticulously preserved the building’s soul while introducing high-end residential functionality:
- The Living Volume: The core of the apartment is defined by its spectacular 4.5-meter (15-foot) vaulted ceilings, exposing the original, century-old structural wooden beams and restored brickwork.
- The Kitchen: An open-concept, industrial-grade kitchen featuring stainless steel countertops, matte cabinetry, and professional appliances, designed for both aesthetic appeal and heavy culinary use.
- The Loft Level: The second level houses the master suite in an open mezzanine format, overlooking the main living area. It includes a sleek, minimalist en-suite bathroom.
Modern Comfort in a Historic Shell
While classified as a Heritage Conservation Building (Energy Rating ‘C’ due to original brick walls), the loft has been thoroughly modernized:
- Custom-fabricated Steel Frame Termopanel windows offer excellent acoustic buffering from Av. Irarrázaval while maintaining the industrial aesthetic.
- The building features highly demanded modern amenities including secure underground parking, dedicated Bike Storage, and a communal rooftop terrace.
The Neighborhood: Ñuñoa’s Cultural Hub
With a WalkScore of 92, this location places you squarely in one of Santiago’s most dynamic and culturally active communes:
- An 8-minute walk to Chile España Metro Station (Line 3), ensuring rapid commutes.
- Only 12 minutes walking to the iconic Plaza Ñuñoa, famous for its vibrant gastronomy, independent theaters (Teatro UC), and lively nightlife.
Broker’s Note: This is a highly sought-after loft configuration. The lease requires a standard 1-month deposit and a 12-month minimum commitment with annual UF adjustments. The building is pet-friendly. Early viewings are highly recommended as heritage conversions rarely stay on the market.
