The Historic Long Beach, CA Masonic Temple was built in 1927 and converted into lofts in 2005. This featured loft is one of the largest at 2410 sq. ft. and it has both 4th and 5th floor access for its two levels. Original brick soars up 20 ft. to the plank-pressed concrete ceilings in this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom loft home highlighted by wood floors downstairs and polished concrete floor on the upper level. Upstairs is all master suite with 900 sq.ft. of living/sleeping/spa-like bathroom. The owner of this loft opted for a transitional/contemporary vibe as a complement to the art displayed throughout the home. Lofts lend themselves to quirky or unusual touches in interior design, and you will find some of those in this home; you see it as you walk past the outstretched black iron hand sculpture that awaits the owners keys upon arrival home, past the three bright orange leather airport seats against the wall, and when you pull a bottle of wine from the blue iron wine cage that previously hung in a wine bar in Paris. Lofts can be cold and non-inviting but they are just waiting to be anything you want them to be..... except traditional.
