The Spice Lofts, at 141 West Second Street in South Boston, is a boutique condominium of 17 loft residences in a converted factory building from around 1930, delivered as condominiums in 2010 at the corner of West Second and B Streets.
The three-story brick building takes its name from its original use: it was built to manufacture spices, part of the industrial fabric that once filled the blocks between Broadway and the Fort Point Channel. Its conversion kept the building's scale and industrial character while creating a small collection of large loft homes, and it sits across the street from Flaherty Park.
Residences are two-, three-, and four-bedroom lofts, from about 1,220 to 2,060 square feet, a range that is unusually generous for a loft building of this size. Interiors feature volume ceilings, oversized industrial windows, blond oak hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and granite counters.
Residents share a common roof deck, and the building offers underground parking.
The Broadway Red Line station is a short walk away, putting the Financial District and South Station a few minutes from home. The restaurants and shops of West Broadway, Fort Point's galleries, and the Seaport are all close by. Nearby loft condominiums include The Foundry and Court Square Press.
Because the building has just 17 homes, it has a close, low-key feel that is hard to find in the larger conversions nearby.
For buyers who want a large loft in a small, quiet building near the Red Line, The Spice Lofts offers a rare mix of space and history in South Boston.
