Each townhome in this historic 1891 Shoe Factory tells the unique story of a bygone era when craftsmanship and the quality of materials were designed to withstand the test of time.

Memories are sure to be made in the spacious eat-in kitchen which utilizes the high ceilings to provide ample maple cabinetry. Contrasting black and stainless appliances (including gas range) and the functional counter space with tile backsplash are sure to delight your inner chef. Convenient new stacking washer and dryer are a huge plus!
