What does everyone think of this place? As far as we’re concerned, it’s neither fish nor fowl. If we wanted a loft, we’d be looking for beamed ceilings, old columns, etc.; we’d be happy to have some modern fixtures or finishes in that context, but we want the raw material to have some history in its bones. Maybe it’s the recessed lighting or we’re being unduly influenced by the leather couch, but we’re not feeling this converted two-story commercial building on Pacific betwen Smith and Hoyt. And judging from the fact that the price has recently been cut, no one else particularly is either. Perhaps that’s because it’s priced as if it were a four-story Greek Revival house on the same block. Don’t get us wrong: 3,750 square feet of high-ceilinged space in the area for $2,390,000 isn’t a rip-off in itself, but people don’t buy square footage, they buy a dream.
