Professional baseball player Ichiro Suzuki has listed his loft in Los Angeles. Suzuki is asking $2.349 million for the property, which is located in the Arts District’s Biscuit Company Lofts building. Suzuki picked up the pied-a-terre in 2008, for $2.2 million.

The loft doesn’t embarrass its Industrial Street location. Exposed brick, exposed pipes and ductwork, a wide-open factory-floor sensibility, soaring ceilings, and a restaurant-inspired stainless kitchen distinguish the interior; no surprises, but the clean style, and the hardwood/whitewash combo, are always a suitable foundation to build upon. Lighting is track or fluorescent, and glass is steel-framed. The staircase—a two-stage gangplank style—is the center of the property, extending the hardwood/whitewash look to the second level master suite and 1,000 square foot terrace. The loft’s interior measures a little over 2,000 square feet, and contains a master suite, and an additional 1.5 baths.

The building dates to 1925, when it was constructed to serve as the West Coast headquarters of Nabisco; it was repurposed as a fashionable Arts District residential building in 2006. Amenities include a two-level fitness center and a large outdoor pool and lounge area.

Suzuki is also offering the property as a rental; he is looking for $7K/monthly in rent, which hopefully includes the original Plan 9 full-sheet, as well as the portrait of W.C. Fields.

Ichiro Suzuki currently watches the outfield for the Marlins; he did spend a few seasons with the Yankees, but he’s since amended his ways. He has been inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame—the only Major League player to receive the honor—is a ten-time MLB All-Star, and has the distinction of hitting the only inside the park homer in an All-Star game.
