Downtown Loft – Historic Penny Furniture Building

Live in one of Downtown Durham’s most architecturally distinctive spaces. This 1,700 sq ft loft occupies the second floor of the historic Penny Furniture Building, originally built in 1905 and thoughtfully redesigned by Center Studio Architecture.

The open floor plan features soaring 15+ ft ceilings, exposed original brick walls, stained concrete floors, and custom steel metalwork. The kitchen is anchored by dual islands with marble countertops — 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. Two full bathrooms round out the residence.

*An additional 1,300 sq ft office or creative space on the same floor is also available for lease separately, offering the opportunity to occupy the entire floor and enjoy a private rear entrance.

Located steps from the best of Downtown Durham — Toast, Pizzeria Toro, Bull McCabe’s, the Carolina Theatre, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and DPAC. Walkable to everything, yet tucked into a building with genuine character and history.

Unfurnished.  Available Spring 2026
