Morning light comes in over the workspace and queen bed, whether you're heading out for an early hospital shift, taking a call before going downtown, or having a slow coffee before exploring the city. By evening, the kitchen table is ready for a home-cooked dinner after a long day, before the building settles into a quiet night.

This professionally managed 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is on the second floor of a renovated 1945 building, part of the Blodgett Urban Lofts.
