This bright and airy penthouse loft for sale in Chelsea didn’t always feel so modern. Before the building was converted into residential lofts in 2004, it was the Buster Brown Shoe Company factory. The turn-of-the-century factory is now known as the Spencer Lofts and has an in-house art gallery. The one-bedroom penthouse is one of the sunniest units in the building, offering a wealth of period details. It features original milled oak trussed beams, large windows, and high ceilings. The unit has an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, as well as office space.
