These lofts were converted from the Buster Brown Shoe Factory into residential lofts in 2004. These lofts feature all the creature comforts that one would expect, such as deeded parking, a gas range, in-unit laundry, forced hot air and a/c. The Spencer Lofts have a high owner occupancy ratio and home to the Spencer Lofts Art Gallery. Close Proximity to Boston with easy access via the commuter rail, MBTA bus routes. In the near future, the new Silver Line will be coming to Chelsea! Chelsea is only three miles from Boston. Don’t get priced of Chelsea.
