RARE OPPORTUNITY to own one of the French Quarter’s most unique penthouses. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath residence offers an open floor plan with PANORAMIC VIEWS of the Mississippi River, Jackson Square, and the historic French Quarter skyline. What truly sets this property apart is its unmatched outdoor living. From aerial views, this is the ONLY PENTHOUSE offering BOTH a 865 sq. ft. WRAPAROUND BALCONY and a PRIVATE 450 sq. ft. ROOFTOP TERRACE. Whether enjoying morning coffee, entertaining before Saints games and festivals, or watching fireworks and river boats, the outdoor spaces are unlike anything else on the market. Inside, the home showcases refined finishes including MARBLE FLOORS, OAK CEILING, and designer built-ins framing the WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE. The kitchen features NEW stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, granite countertops, and generous space for gathering. The elegant wet bar with an ICE MAKER enhances the home’s exceptional entertaining potential. The primary suite offers a custom WALK-IN CLOSET and en-suite bath featuring a JACUZZI SOAKING TUB, an oversized walk-in shower, and the ultimate indulgence -a CEDAR DRY SAUNA with two-tier bench seating. This rare amenity comfortably accommodates multiple people, creating a private spa-like retreat within your own home. The thoughtfully designed second bedroom offers exceptional flexibility as both a guest suite and executive home office, complete with built-ins, a seamlessly integrated queen bed, full bathroom, and a WALK-IN CLOSET. Designer drapery defines the room while intentionally preserving the panoramic views and abundant natural light from the penthouse’s FLOOR-TO-CEILING SLIDING GLASS DOORS. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, second home, investment property or a private French Quarter retreat, this exceptional penthouse offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience THE BEST of New Orleans.
