Welcome to #305 at 918 Lofts — living history with urban style and convenience. Part of the Historic North Loop, this beautiful 1922 brick building was originally used as the Lavoris Mouthwash Factory, converted into modern loft-style condos in 2004. You’ll love the open concept feel with high ceilings, exposed ductwork, and large south-facing windows streaming an abundance of natural light. Concrete construction also makes for quieter living.
Harkening back to its roots, it has an industrial vibe with a modern flair, including stainless steel kitchen appliances (new refrigerator in 2025) and plenty of counter space. Pull up a stool to the kitchen island and enjoy a meal with friends, or invite guests to visit while you prepare your favorite meal with goods from the nearby downtown farmers’ market. An Ecobee smart thermostat means your heat and central AC will flow smoothly to keep you comfy warm or nicely cool as you hunker down for a calm evening at home.
Book lovers and film buffs alike will salivate at the new custom-built library shelving, and electric fireplace/TV wall (2023). Enjoy reaching for a treasured book using the nifty, hand-built rolling library ladder; imagine yourself as Ollivander in Harry Potter reaching for a wand, or the candy store owner in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tossing sweets to the kids below!
The spacious bedroom sports wall-mounted nightstands, which reduce the need for additional furniture and clutter. Work from home at the built-in desk with a view of your library, bathed in oodles of natural light.
After a long day, the rainfall shower head will bring all the relaxation you desire amongst the stylishly-tiled shower and bathroom floor.
The unit comes with a much-sought-after underground heated parking spot (#14) to stay warm and snow free in the winter. You’ll have two guest parking passes for the large surface lot as well — a rare find in the North Loop. This unit also has a large storage locker (it’s deep!) on the garage level next to the elevator entrance — very handy.
Building amenities include a fitness room with plenty of modern weights and equipment; the original brick, windows, and doors create a throw-back industrial vibe to inspire your workouts! Grill out with loved ones on the new building patio (2025). Pets are allowed — this is a very dog-friendly building.
Such a great location! All the benefits of this very walkable Historic district and nearby downtown Minneapolis are at your disposal, just a stone’s throw away — fine dining, casual eats, many breweries, music, sports (Target Field – go Twins!), theatre, and recreation. The soon-to-be-reimagined North Loop Park is just two blocks away. Across from that, pet owners will appreciate the recently updated (2024) North Loop Dog Park. A short walk brings you to the mighty Mississippi River — bike, run, or walk, and enjoy the Minnesota outdoors.
