The Modern Confectionery

By Living Room Realty, April 1, 2020

From the first time we met, I knew I would love spending time with Kristyn and Shoe. They are a smart, creative and hardworking couple who have traveled extensively and were looking to move back to a more urban lifestyle they embraced during stints in Paris and beyond. After reinventing their extremely rare mid-century perched on the Overlook ridge they were ready for condo living.

While Kristyn was pursuing her PhD, they lived in several large European cities. During that time without a car they fully embraced city life, shopping for groceries at small markets and having various restaurants and shops within steps of their home. After years on the bluff they started to miss the accessibility and ease of city life, and realized they were ready to fully embrace downtown living, so the Pearl called.

We set out to find a condo in the Pearl District with notable outdoor space and unique interior finishes. I had mentioned early on in the process that there was one building I thought would be perfect for them, the Modern Confectionery Lofts. My mention of the building came with a quick disclaimer that it’s a smaller building and the 7 units (only 3 rooftop) rarely come up for sale. As luck would have it, just a month or so after we started our search, the best unit in the building hit the market. Shoe and Kristyn had a connection to the space immediately and we were under contract 24 hours later.

It has been an absolute blast helping Shoe and Kristyn find the perfect condo for this next phase in their life. I am anxiously anticipating how they will personalize the space with their incredible taste and will be front and center in the coming weeks as their MCM hits the market!
