Mass Ave and Onyx+East's Fulton community
Massachusetts Avenue—“Mass Ave” to locals—was laid out in the mid-1800s as a diagonal trade route linking downtown to the northeast suburbs. After a post-war slump, its brick warehouses and Victorian storefronts were reborn in the 1980s when the corridor won National Register status.
The Moorish-inspired Murat Theatre (1910) still dazzles audiences under its ornate dome. Bottleworks District, once the world’s largest Coca-Cola bottling plant, is now a food-hall-plus-boutique-hotel showpiece. When hunger strikes, grab a stein and schnitzel at The Rathskeller, the city’s oldest restaurant (1894), or sample everything from poke to pastries inside The Garage Food Hall—all within a few walkable blocks.
Steps away, Onyx+East’s new Fulton community slots 17 luxury brownstones into Chatham Arch, just two blocks from Bottleworks. Floor plans stretch 2,085–2,689 sq ft across four levels, with 10-ft ceilings, private two-car garages, an optional in-home elevator (how crazy is that!) and rooftop terraces for skyline selfies.
Oversized, Energy Star-certified picture and casement windows (sealed with low-E glass and spray-foam detailing) frame those views while keeping utility bills tame. Inside, expect quartz kitchens, Google Nest smart-home tech and spa-style baths—modern comfort wrapped in a walk-everywhere address.
This home is perfect for successful professionals who love walking to their premium gourmet outlet and entertainment to wash away stress from those high-pressure jobs.
Shade ideas to finish the look
- Motorized Roman Shades – Gothic-style designer kitchen marries well to a stylish Roman shades that have an element of soft treatment but is still easy to operate. Roman shades cut glare without hiding the cityscape; and can be fully integrated with Google-based Smart Home platform available at Fulton.
- Top-Down / Bottom-Up Cellular Shades – Street-facing casement windows can be bright in the afternoon. Lower the top for sky views while the insulated honeycomb fabric adds an extra R-value to better regulate room temperature as well as privacy.
- Exterior Motorized Solar Screens – On rooftop-level sliders, these retractable screens block summer heat before it hits the glass, protect furniture, and disappear at sunset for unobstructed skyline selfies.
Dress Fulton’s high-performance windows with the right modern shades and you’ll enjoy Mass Ave’s historic glow—on your own perfectly controlled environment.
