A duplex loft in a converted basket factory near the Tate Modern

This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex loft is in a circa-1920 basket factory that was converted to residential use in 2000. All 15 units in the building feature distinct layouts.

Cultural attractions within a mile of the home include the Tate Modern museum and the Southbank Centre, whose venues include Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery. The Young Vic and Old Vic theaters are around the corner. Cafes and boutiques on Lower Marsh Street are a short walk west, and Borough Food Market is a mile east. The neighborhood is dense with restaurants and bars.

Lambeth North, on the Bakerloo line, is the nearest Tube station, a half-mile southwest. Waterloo, Britain’s largest railway station and a terminus for several train lines, is a short walk from the loft. Heathrow Airport is about 17 miles west.

Size: 1,455 square feet

Price per square foot: $845

Indoors: The apartment is on the second floor of the five-story building. An entry hall leads past the kitchen and study to a sunny living room with 14-foot ceilings and tall windows that overlook Waterloo Road. The kitchen features Neff appliances, stone countertops and white cabinets, and views the living room through a pass-through. There’s also a powder room on this level.

Separate staircases to the second level reach the bedrooms, both of which have en suite bathrooms. An original warehouse door, salvaged from the basket factory, hangs outside one bedroom. Natural light comes from large wall cutouts that open to the living room.

The apartment is being sold unfurnished, though both platform beds, which were custom-built for the space, are included in the sale.
