Welcome to this historically significant one bedroom condo in The Rainbow Lofts on the "it street" of Logan. This building was originally Rainbow Auto and Painting Co, an auto body repair garage built in 1926, and this block used to be known as Auto Row. In 2004, the renovation and addition was designed by Eric Colbert and Associates PC. They retained the original industrial character and added a contrasting white metal addition. It is featured in the American Institute of Architecture Guide to the Architecture of Washington DC, 6th edition, by G. Martin Moeller, Jr.
This is what you come to the Rainbow Lofts for - the industrial vibe, the concrete walls, the 14'+ vaulted ceilings, the exposed plumbing and ductwork, the huge windows, the exposed brick, and the historic significance. Brand new motorized shades just installed in 2025 that seamlessly melt into the background to preserve the aesthetics of this beautiful space.
Enjoy all of this in your huge living room featuring a gas fireplace and built-in bookcases. There is plenty of room for entertaining and working from home. The kitchen features maple cabinets, GE Appliance set including a slide-in gas stove, and silestone counters with a breakfast bar that can fit 2-3 people. There is a 1/2 bathroom with a linen closet and a full-size washer and dryer. This is an oversized one bedroom unit with 890 sqft, which features a walk-in closet with built-ins and an exposed brick wall.
The minimalist style of the building continues on the roof deck which features glass railings. It was just recently redone and features panoramic views, a grill, and multiple dining and seating areas.
