Festival season focuses on the French Quarter this time of year, with the music, food and fun of the city on full display. And the streets of the Vieux Carre are thriving this weekend with the beat of “bon temps” and bounty during French Quarter Fest.<\/p>\n
Perched above the streets and the Mississippi River with a panoramic view of the festival and the waterway, which provides the Crescent City nickname, is the penthouse at One River Place, 15F.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Commanding views of the city are available from\u00a0One River Place’s penthouse 15F, a three-bedroom, four-bath owners unit with 5,000 square feet of space.<\/p>\n

A three-bedroom, more-than-four-bath beauty with 5,000 square feet, this condominium also features a plethora of public spaces that include multiple living rooms and studies and walls of windows to enjoy the city’s skyline for $5.9 million.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Colorful marble tilework grounds the spacious foyer of the home, framed by columns and capped by an illuminated ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A “manor in the clouds” deserves a fitting foyer, and 15F has the first look finessed with a patterned marble floor, classic columns and stacked molding that holds indirect lighting to keep the space bright. Arched passages into the living areas create broad access.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A curved wall of vertical windows offers a panoramic view of the Mississippi River from one section of the formal living room.<\/p>\n
To the right of the foyer lies the living room behind pocket doors. The curved wall of windows has a prime view of the Crescent City Connection and the linear space is a somewhat separate sector from the great room through the double opening.<\/p>\n
More commanding views are hallmarks of this main living area of the home. Blonde wood floors create a light feel, counterbalanced by the multitiered molding and lighting of the tray ceiling. The double glass doors leading to the balcony are set in more windows to make the already expansive room feel even larger.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Memorable meals are certain to unfold in the dining room of the home with a built-in buffet and trayed ceiling.<\/p>\n
Another arched opening leads into the formal dining room, which also enjoys double glass door access to the balcony. A locale suited for elegant dining, the intricate tray ceiling is anchored by marble floors. A built-in buffet area provides plentiful storage and a vast amount of serving area that follows the unique shape of the room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A true workspace in the center of the condominium, the kitchen has numerous stations for culinary creations, including a large island with prep sink and seating.<\/p>\n
Through the doorway is the large kitchen, centered by a spacious island with a prep sink. Loaded with stainless professional-grade appliances, the kitchen has abundant storage and the island includes space for seating and casual dining. The home’s laundry is also located off the kitchen.<\/p>\n
A second entrance returns to the foyer and the hall to the more private areas of the home. Also off the hall are two powder rooms and a secondary entrance to the condo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A bedroom that could double as a den provides access to the home’s wraparound balcony.<\/p>\n
A branch off the hall leads to a bedroom or den with an en suite and access to a balcony that connects to the main outdoor space off the great and dining rooms. The bedroom is a generous pie-shaped space with a large walk-in closet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The den in the primary suite is a relaxed space with a wall-size view of the downriver side of the building.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0second branch off the hall leads to the primary suite, an array of spaces that provides an inner sanctum of relaxation and rejuvenation. A study that could double as an office is the first space in the sanctum that opens onto a large den.<\/p>\n
The broad bend in the river is the majestic view from the wall of vertical windows that overlook the city from Poydras Street down to the Bywater and Algiers Point on the West Bank. Built-in cabinetry offers multiple spaces for books or objet d’art, as well as shelves and sequestered storage behind doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A cozy spot for restful relaxation, the primary sleeping chamber has a coffered ceiling.<\/p>\n
The primary bedroom is certain to be slumber-inducing with a coffered ceiling and architectural details on the high walls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of two closets in the primary suite has plenty of storage and a dressing table.<\/p>\n
Walk past a pair of walk-in closets with room for dressing and both customized, one with a self-contained vanity. Both also lead to baths \u2014 one using contrasting tones of marble and a standing shower while the other features a spa-like tranquility and soaking tub.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A third bedroom overlooks the northern reaches of the city to Lake Pontchartrain.<\/p>\n
An additional bedroom suite occupies a private space at the end of the hall. A full bath and walk-in closet are first on the inner hall that opens to the sleeping chamber. A curved wall of vertical windows provides views from downtown and the sports arenas and out to Lake Pontchartrain. Built-ins provide additional storage and display area.<\/p>\n
And while the penthouse itself is bristling with amenities and ambiance (and three parking spaces in the garage), the signature building boasts much as well. Round-the-clock concierge and security, valet parking, a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center and gardens are all part of the property, as well as entertainment areas and access to the neighboring hotel and shopping district.<\/p>\n
