Step into a living masterpiece, a testament to the Art Moderne & Art Deco movement that made its former artists famous in Old Town - featured in Crain's June 25th Real Estate. This beautiful "newly fully furnished" condo is nestled within the esteemed Theophil Reuther Studios in the heart of landmarked West Burton Place offering an unparalleled blend of historic charm, presenting a truly unique opportunity in Old Town. Perched on the second floor of an intimate six-unit building, this turn-key sanctuary has been lovingly maintained by the same family for a quarter-century, reflecting a heritage of care and appreciation. As you enter, the distinctive Art Moderne and Art Deco architectural styles captivate, immediately evident in the grand, light-drenching stained-glass windows that infuse the space with natural light and a vibrant artistic ambiance.
