Unit 408 at the WaterTower Lofts is the kind of space people picture when they say “Denver loft” — soaring ceilings, timber beams, exposed brick, and hardwood floors in an open plan that actually uses all of it. Kitchen, living, and dining flow together around a large center island and open directly onto a private balcony, so the space works equally well for a quiet night in or a full house. The original arched fire door set into the brick is the detail every guest will ask about.

The Ballpark location holds up its end. Walk to a Rockies game at Coors Field, catch a train at Union Station, or make a slow evening of the restaurants and breweries in RiNo and LoDo. Home base, front row — 2960 Inca Street puts the best of downtown Denver within a few blocks.

The practical side is covered too: in-unit laundry, a deeded and secured covered parking space, private assigned storage in the basement, elevator access, and a community exercise room. The HOA covers internet and building maintenance, which keeps monthly life simple.
