Description
This is a single family loft with a private entrance. The Front Loft at Sanctuary Place was completed in 2010. Like it’s sister Loft next door, the Front Loft is full of original details combined with modern design features. Throughout the space the commitment to preserve the past is evident.Great care has been taken to accentuate the original craftsmanship while attending to the needs of modern life. The stained glass creates a welcoming allure of light in different combinations throughout the day making the Font Loft ideal for entertaining or just relaxing with a book.There are two bedrooms and two baths – both beds are queen. The first floor bathroom has a walk in tile shower, the top floor bath has a large cast-iron tub. The Loft is fully equipped for cooking and stocked with the comforts of home. Visitors can relax and meet other guests in a private courtyard with fountain. Great location right off Forsyth Park.Built in 1889 as St Paul’s Episcopal Church by architect Eric Eichberg, this historic property hosted varied congregations over the past century before falling into disrepair around 2002. Restoration began in 2005 and the Front Loft was completed in 2010. The exterior sides, covered with stucco, were refitted with cyprus siding. The original vintage pine was reclaimed from the roof and sides to be used for the interior construction. The flying buttresses and bell-tower, both missing for decades, were reconstructed from historic photographs. About 50% of the stained glass was replaced with restoration glass, the surviving memorials were restored where possible.The interior was designed to flow upward and outward providing different vantage-points to view the original details. The original ceiling and support columns provided the framework for a minimalist design concept – further accentuating the remarkable Victorian-era craftsmanship. The stained glass combine with amazing results to create a surprising amount of warmth for such a large volume of space. The juxtaposition of the old and new creates a comfortable balance, giving the Loft the true feel of a home.We hope to see you soon and happy travels,Sanctuary PlaceSelf check in and I will provide instructions by email.Always available and close by if guests have any issues/questions.Downtown neighborhood in the Victorian District.
