A unicorn hiding in plain sight in the heart of Riverside. This building once filled the neighborhood with the aroma of apple pie & chocolate. Later, architects utilized its soaring ceilings & steel columns to dream big. Then, a couple transformed it into their home, studio, & sanctuary. 543 Green St. isn’t just one of a kind; it’s the type of space you never forget. With 4,500 sq ft, it offers volume, light &13 ft ceilings in a beautiful brick structure with its address painted in green on the facade. It’s familiar yet unknown. “Oh yeah, I know that building,” many will say. “I’ve always wondered what it was.” It’s a true live/work masterpiece where he restored his Alfa Romeo Spider in one bay on the 1st level & she ran her design firm from another. They lived upstairs in a luminous 4-bedroom loft that embraces its industrial bones with warmth & elegance. Set on a 6,400 sq ft lot with ample parking, it’s ready for its next chapter, where history, architecture, & artistry can converge!
