Step into a piece of Detroit history with a modern twist: this rare 2BR/2.5BA bi-level residence sits inside the iconic Carlton Lofts, designed by Louis Kamper and originally home to the Carlton Plaza Hotel - once a cornerstone of the city's legendary jazz scene. Sweeping northern and southern skyline views move throughout this condo.
What sets this unit apart: while most Carlton Lofts residences feature the building's signature concrete floors, this one is finished throughout in warm bamboo hardwood - a refined departure from the norm. Soaring windows, textured ceilings, and exposed beams round out a space that balances historic character with elevated modern living.
Upstairs, an open concept second floor flexes for entertaining, a home office, or both. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an en suite bath and generous walk-in closet.
Downstairs, a welcoming foyer leads to a dedicated laundry room, full bath, and a flexible bonus room - guest room, office, gym, or studio, your call.
Comfort and updates: four mini-split units plus radiant heated floors for year-round comfort; all appliances (including washer/dryer) updated in 2023; hardwired smoke/CO detectors added in 2026.
Building perks: fenced, gated private parking and bike storage near the lower-level elevators.
Location: right outside your door, the newly complete John R-Watson Park brings manicured lawns, landscaped walkways, a sensory garden and updated lighting to the block. You're steps away from Brush Park's acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, nightlife, LCA and the theater district- historic living at the center of it all.
