A vibrant loft that doesn't try to blend in - moments from Portland's infamous LB Kitchen and the center of it all. The crown jewel of an iconic building has been reimagined by interior designer and Instagram creator Maitri Mody. This space is a bold take on city living - where color, shape & texture come together in a way that feels both intentional and effortless. Arched windows bring in natural light, framing a backdrop of historic brick. At the same time, the open layout is thoughtfully defined with built-ins, sculptural lighting & a soft curtain divide - creating separation without losing flow. A sleeping loft adds flexibility for guests or tucked-away quarters. The kitchen leans playful and nostalgic with a statement SMEG refrigerator, checkerboard flooring & open shelving, while new quartz counters and intentionally imperfect square backsplash tiles with a subtle, light-catching finish add depth and texture throughout. The kind of space you bookmark and follow on Instagram... and now, you can actually have it as yours. And then there's the deck. Expansive, private, and overlooking Congress Street, it offers a front-row seat to the energy of Portland -with enough space to actually live, host dinner parties, and unwind... not just step out onto. Professionally managed with added perks like storage, a dog wash & shared workbench - all within one of the city's most walkable locations. Grab your groceries at Micucci's or the Portland Food Co-op, and quickly dine at neighborhood favorites like Honey Paw, Eventide, and The Front Room. For those who want urban living or a pied-à-terre with personality - this is it.
