Frank Gehry, FAIA, Developer |Live/Work Artist's Loft. In the early 1990s, long-time friends architect Frank Gehry and artist Chuck Arnoldi got together to develop this amazing Live/Work Loft 3 level Creative 6 unit building. The building has the signature Frank Gehry style - features like metal siding, industrial scale windows and huge skylights which allow for wonderful natural light throughout this space- This unit even has plywood on the stairs and steel banisters. It is rumored that Frank Gehry may have lived in this particular unit. The flexible floorplan could be used in a variety of creative ways - an artist's or photographer's studio or for a film production company , a writer's office, tech entrepreneurs, or anyone seeking a creative lifestyle. Could also be of interest to an investor for commercial use. The first floor has 17-foot-ceilings and was used by a previous owner as an artists studio...The middle level has a kitchen area with high end stainless steel counters and European stovetop, center island with sink, and an amazing refrigerator, disguised in modern cabinetry. The open floor plan allows for a large living room area and alcove perfect for a study or office. On the top floor, a large master suite commands city views with sparkling lights at night..a separate sitting area near a huge window and a large cement walled bathroom with oversized shower. The exquisite palette of materials round out the compelling experience and this unit must be seen to be appreciated. The location itself is extremely convenient for urban living and yet the Beach is just twelve blocks away, as well as Santa Monica's vibrant downtown, and easy access to the 10 Freeway. There is secure parking and 2 guest spaces immediately outside the back door allowing easy access for deliveries. Truly an exceptional offering.
