Largest floor plan available in the iconic Carlton Lofts, originally home to the Carlton Plaza Hotel - once a cornerstone of the city's legendary jazz scene. Step into a piece of Detroit history with a modern twist: this rare 2BR/2.5BA bi-level residence enjoys sweeping northern and southern skyline views which make this condo superior to most of the other units in this historic building originally designed by Louis Kamper.
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.
