From the original 2016 listing

This is your opportunity to purchase a sunny and bright bi-level penthouse brick-and-beam loft at the former “Buster Brown” Shoe factory lofts, now known as Spencer Lofts. Herein lies this turn-of-the-century factory that was converted into 100 residential lofts in 2004. The building was constructed at the end of the Victorian Era and at the beginning of the Progressive Movement. This loft has period details that cannot be reproduced today. This loft features original milled oak trussed beams, high ceilings and large windows. This is one of the brightest lofts in the building. Parking, in-unit laundry, A/C, a common roof deck and home to The Spencer Lofts Art Gallery. Ciao, Fusion Foods, Floramos, The New bridge Café and Mystic Brewery are some of my favorite spots around town. Starbucks, Market Basket and more are here too. Only three miles to Boston. The commuter rail, five bus routes and the Silver line to come. Open House Sunday 12-1.
