The Space

A piece of
Durham history.

Once the historic Penny Furniture showroom, this architecturally striking 1BR/2BA loft occupies the second floor loft of a building originally built in 1905 and thoughtfully redesigned by Center Studio Architecture.

The open floor plan features soaring ceilings, exposed original brick walls, stained concrete floors, custom steel metalwork, and a chef's kitchen anchored by dual islands — designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

The bedroom suite is separated from the main living area by a dramatic steel sliding door, offering privacy without sacrificing the industrial-chic aesthetic that defines the space.
