Campbell Garage Lofts
Unique downtown living! Waldvogel Commercial Properties yesterday had an invitation-only tour of their new downtown Roanoke condominiums.
I must admit that when I first heard this downtown Roanoke building was being renovated for upscale condominium homes, I was skeptical. After all, this building overlooks on the front side, the Roanoke City Jail. On the backside, it overlooks the roofs of the smaller buildings behind and the parking lot of the Virginia Transportation Museum. Not exactly what I’d call a nice view.
After a very quick self-guided tour, I can say that the inside of this building is beautiful. It has a very tasteful modern decor with Roanoke-themed artwork. The inside of the condominiums are also very nice with very modern appliances. The floors are all dark wood that looks to be the original floors. While this is very nice, it does make some of the rooms darker than I personally like. Obviously though this isn’t a negative for some as many of the units are already sold.
The balconies on the upper floors of the condominium are interesting. The floors are a sort of rubberized mat while the outside walls of the balcony are copper siding which should be very pretty if kept polished but I think may make it even more hot on top of the building as well as reflect your heat if you’re trying to grill out there.
Overall I’d say it’s very nice for the right person. Plus, if you love watching CSI and Cops you’ll have real live-action out your front window. How exciting!
