Thoughtful craftsmanship and rare indoor-outdoor living come together in this studio at Milepost 5 Lofts. Designed and custom-built by its cabinetmaker and designer owner, this 473-square-foot studio makes exceptional use of every inch. Douglas fir-finished kitchen cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, integrated storage, and carefully considered built-ins bring warmth and function to the home's exposed concrete ceilings and open industrial layout. A soaring wall of windows fills the space with natural light, while the thoughtfully defined sleeping area preserves the loft's open, airy feel. The bathroom adds another unexpected dose of character. And then there's the patio. Expansive, private, and overlooking the community garden, it feels like a true outdoor room—ready for morning coffee, dinner with friends, container gardening, or simply unwinding beneath the trees. At Milepost 5, the creativity continues beyond your front door with a community garden, a welcoming lobby with local artwork, a rooftop deck, on-site laundry, assigned storage, and secure bike parking among the shared amenities. Montavilla Park and Community Center with its outdoor pool sit directly across the street, putting recreation at your doorstep. The neighborhood's favorite cafés, restaurants, shops, food carts, and Farmers Market are a quick five-minute bike ride away, with MAX light rail and bus lines a short walk from home. Leased parking available.
