The loft is currently separated into a three bedrooms. There is a master bedroom suite with bathroom and walk-in closet. A nice sized second bedroom is being used by the current owners as a guest room/office and a smaller bedroom is being used as a nursery.

The Spencer Lofts were a former factory built in 1900 and converted into 100 residential lofts in 2004. There is a strong community of owners, made up of artists, first-time home buyers, families, and retired persons. There is a common gallery space that is used by resident and regional artists to display their work. This space is an amenity that can be reserved by any of the residents for various functions and parties. These lofts are not only for artists and loft lovers who are priced out of the South End and downtown Boston, but also the "empty nesters" and people relocated back to the Boston who are making the Spencer Lofts their home. Most cite the obvious, it's about 1/3 of the cost of a comparable loft in downtown Boston but also has the ease of commuting and proximity to the city. It is only a 15 minute drive to Newbury Street.
