Stark, modern interiors features inside this penthouse loft, which lies in a historic Los Angeles County theatre complex.

The two-bedroom duplex lies half an hour from Los Angeles in downtown Long Beach and is on sale for $878,000 with Unique California Property. It is part of the Ebell of Los Angeles, built in 1924 by architect Charles T. McGrew in California’s Churrigueresque revival style.

Its main level is a grand, all-concrete, open-plan space, with 18ft timber ceilings, metal pipework, and a powder-blue kitchen. It has a polished concrete floor that reflects the natural light streaming through its large, factory-style windows. There are sweeping city views from the Los Angeles property’s private rooftop terrace, accessed via a metal spiral staircase.
