This 4-bedroom duplex in the Carl Street Studios at 155 W. Burton Place in Old Town came on the market in February 2023 but had been on the market prior to the pandemic without ever selling.
The Carl Street Studios were built in 1880 as an original Victorian home and was converted into 13 condos by Edgar Miller and Sol Kogen in 1927. It’s a unique property that has a gated courtyard but no parking.
It has all of the unique features of a Edgar Miller property including mosaics, stained glass windows, art deco tiles, carved doors, arches, built-in seating, painted ceilings and parquet floors.
The kitchen has wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a double oven and an island with seating for 2. There’s also a breakfast room and a separate dining room.
The unit has 3 fireplaces. It looks like at least one is wood burning but others may be decorative.
It has a separate 745 square foot duplex studio that can be used as a guest suite or home office.
This unit has 2 full bathrooms and 2 half baths with 3 bedrooms.
It has a large private rooftop deck.
The unit has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit but there is no parking with the building. There is parking available to rent in the neighborhood.
This building is near the shops and restaurants of Old Town and the Gold Coast.
Listed at $1.095 million, that’s $705,000 below the 2003 purchase price of $1.8 million.
