This time of year, festival season focuses on the French Quarter, showcasing the city’s music, food, and fun. And this weekend, the streets of Vieux Carre will be buzzing with the beats and blessings of “Bon Temps” during French Quarter Fest.
The penthouse on the 15th floor of One River Place is perched above the street and the Mississippi River, offering panoramic views of the festival and the waterway that gives it its nickname, the Crescent City.
One River Place’s 15th floor penthouse offers stunning views of the city. This penthouse is a three-bedroom, four-bathroom owner’s unit in 5,000 square feet of space.
This beautiful 5,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, four-plus bath condo also offers plenty of public space, including multiple living rooms, a den, and wall-to-wall windows to enjoy the city skyline for $5.9 million.
The spacious entrance of the house is lined with colorful marble tiles and is surrounded by columns and topped by a lighted ceiling.
A foyer is appropriate for a “mansion in the clouds.” The 15th floor has a sophisticated exterior with patterned marble floors, classic columns, and stacked moldings with indirect lighting to keep the space bright. An arched passageway to the living area allows for wide access.
Vertical windows in the curved wall offer panoramic views of the Mississippi River from part of the formal living room.
The living room is to the right of the entryway, behind a pocket door. Windows in the curved wall offer spectacular views of the Crescent City Connection, and the linear space is separated into somewhat separated sectors from the great room through double openings.
More sweeping views are a feature of the home’s main living area. Blonde wood floors create a bright atmosphere, balanced by multi-layer tray ceiling molding and lighting. The double glass door leading to the balcony has an additional window, making the already large room feel even larger.
With a built-in buffet and tray ceiling, your home’s dining room is sure to create a memorable meal.
Another arched opening leads to the formal dining room, and double-glazed doors provide access to the balcony. A place for elegant dining, the intricate tray ceiling is anchored by a marble floor. The built-in buffet area features abundant storage space and an expansive serving area that follows the room’s unique shape.
A true workspace at the heart of the condo, the kitchen has plenty of stations for cooking, including a large island with a prep sink and seating.
Through the doorway is a large kitchen with a spacious island in the center with a prep sink. The kitchen with professional stainless steel appliances has plenty of storage and an island with seating and space for casual dining. The house laundry is also located outside the kitchen.
A second entrance leads back to the vestibule and hall, leading to more private areas of the house. There are also two powder rooms and a second entrance to the condo off the hall.
The bedroom, which can also be used as a study, has access to a balcony that wraps around the perimeter of the house.
Branching off from the hall leads to a bedroom or study with en suite bathroom and access to a balcony that leads to the great room and the main outdoor space off the dining room. The bedroom is a spacious pie-shaped space with a large walk-in closet.
The study in the primary suite is a relaxing space with wall-to-wall views of the downstream side of the building.
A second branch from the hall leads to the primary suite, a series of spaces that offer an inner sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. The study, which can also be used as an office, is the first space in the sanctuary that opens onto the larger study.
The river bends sharply, and vertical windows in the walls offer spectacular views across the city from Poydras Street to Bywater and Algiers Point in the West Bank. Built-in cabinets provide multiple spaces for books and art, as well as isolated storage spaces behind shelves and doors.
A cozy spot for peaceful relaxation, the master bedroom has a coffered ceiling.
The master bedroom invites sleep with its coffered ceiling and high wall architectural details.
One of the two closets in the primary suite has ample storage space and a dressing table.
Pass by two walk-in closets with space for dressing. Both are customized and one has a separate vanity. Both are connected to baths, one with contrasting marble tones and a standing shower, the other with spa-like tranquility and a deep soaking tub.
The third bedroom overlooks the city’s north end all the way to Lake Pontchartrain.
An additional bedroom suite occupies a private space at the end of the hall. A full bath and walk-in closet are located first in the interior hall leading to the bedroom. Vertical windows in the curved walls offer views of downtown, the sports arena, and Lake Pontchartrain. Built-in provides additional storage and viewing area.
While the penthouse itself is full of amenities and ambience (including a three-car garage), the distinctive building has just as much charm. A 24-hour concierge and security, valet parking, a resort-style pool, fitness center, and garden are all part of the property, as well as access to entertainment areas and nearby hotels and shopping.
This penthouse is listed by Glenda Bach of Compass Uptown (504) 866-2785.
