The eighth-floor condo is #800 inside 221 Columbus Ave., also known as the Albert Pope Building. Finished in 1899, it originally served as a factory for bicycle manufacturer Albert Pope, according to Campion and Company Real Estate.

The building, which borders the South End, was used in various ways before it was developed and converted into boutique, loft-style condos by Heath Properties in 1998, according to Campion.

“The 25 residences in the building perfectly balance traditional and modern design,” Campion wrote on its website.

The first level of the condo is made up of a connected foyer, living room, kitchen, and both a formal and informal dining room, the listing says. The terrace spans the length of the space, and there is a half bath and laundry room on this floor as well.
