Legendary Midtown recording studio hits the market for $1.3M

This Midtown combination office and studio is unique in every sense of the word.

The $1.3 million freestanding structure is adjacent to the Beltline and Piedmont Park. It's also the site of what used to be a "legendary" recording studio called Purple Dragon. The studio is known for recording music by Elton John ("Peachtree Road"), Lenny Kravitz and The Black Crowes.

The building itself is split between a downstairs office and studio space and an upstairs three-bedroom, two-bathroom loft. The listing boasts of a “picturesque deck overlooking Piedmont Park,” large windows and gated and covering parking.

See the realtor's website or the virtual tour for more.
