Score one for the New Orleans condo market and in the former LaSalle school building, which was renovated 10 years ago and is now one of the more desirable condominium buildings located Uptown three blocks from Audubon Park.
A penthouse, condo unit #4-M at 6048 Perrier St. sold for the listing price of $2.55 million on Dec. 4. The condo has 3 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, and 3,008 square feet.
The building formerly housed LaSalle elementary school and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. In 2014 at the time of the conversion, all 12 condo units sold out before the development opened. The building has a generator, doorman, exercise facilities, pool area, outdoor kitchen, and common spaces. There is secure, gated parking with two dedicated spaces, including one in the garage.
“Sometimes the building sells itself in the condo market and such is the case for this sale. My clients are from out of state; he’s from Cape Cod; she’s from Brooklyn; they absolutely love New Orleans, and they wanted to be in this fabulous building, recently renovated, with a beautiful view of Uptown, and in a great location,” said Sarah Ackerman, sales agent on the transaction along with Rachael Iturralde. Ackerman and Iturralde are realtors with NOLA Sold Sisters, RE/MAX N.O. Properties, New Orleans office owned by Mary Ann Casey.
Listing agent Joey Walker with Rêve Realtors agreed; the building was a major draw.
“It’s really the only recently renovated, full service condominium building in which people can purchase in that’s in a perfect location near Audubon Park,” said Walker. “It has all the amenities you would expect; the penthouse has a private terrace with a nice view, and the unit itself has a well-designed, open-floor layout that has the living area, primary suite, dining, and kitchen all on the same level, making everything convenient for the owner.”
Take a ride to the entrance of the penthouse unit on the elevator. The unit has an open-concept layout, wood flooring, soaring ceilings, fireplace, custom built-ins, and storage space. The living room gets an abundance of sunlight, and the living room is connected to the dining area. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with high-end cabinetry, Quartzite countertops, and Subzero and Wolf appliances. There is a dedicated bar area equipped with a built-in ice maker, wine cooler, and refrigerator beverage drawers.
The primary bedroom has expansive windows offering views of downtown and the Superdome. The primary also features 17½-foot ceilings, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower. Each of the two additional bedrooms has private bathrooms, and a powder room. There are multiple separate storage rooms and a laundry room featuring two sinks. Outdoors there is a private terrace with views of Uptown treetops.
“The Uptown market continues be strong and desirable, and homes in good shape and the right location are always in demand,” Walker said. “The condo market is perfect for people looking to lock and leave, possibly downsize, and find that alternative to owning a freestanding home.”
