Loft inside slender South Beach building seeks $4.5M

If you’ve ever wondered what’s inside the svelte, dusty rose building on Third Street, wonder no more. In addition to a seemingly small storefront, there’s a two-floor residential loft with a massive wall of exposed brick, industrial touches galore, and a party-ready roof deck.

Featuring two bedrooms, two and one half baths, 4,476 square feet, 655 Third Street is a lot of space for a skinny building. Highlights here include soaring ceilings, industrial staircase focal point, exposed beams, central open kitchen, and wood-burning fireplace.

The roof deck in particular is a treat, ideal for an urban gardener’s green thumb, but there’s also the commercial space at the ground level, which, alas, is part of the deal. (Silver lining: Startups hawking the latest iTomfoolery are more than willing to waste heaps of money on rent in this neighborhood. Go wild.)

Asking is a whopping $4.5 million.
