Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of French Quarter history in one of the neighborhood’s most architecturally distinctive buildings. Designed by architect Jordan McKenzie and constructed circa 1910, this four-story landmark is a celebrated example of early 20th-century Austrian Secessionist architecture and is further distinguished by its “French Quarter Elves,” three original concrete gnome figures adorning the façade. Two full-floor commercial condominium units are offered together at $1,140,000, totaling 2,984 square feet of truly one-of-a-kind space. Currently operating as owner's business, Spa Atlantis, the property is configured for commercial use with the ability to revert to residential. The business is not included in the sale. Roof recently replaced as well as all 3 AC units within the last three years. Unit #1 (1st Floor | 1,368 SF) stuns with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling steel grid windows, polished concrete floors, exposed brick, and direct access to a private rear, brick courtyard. Unit #2 (2nd Floor | 1,616 SF) features wide-plank hardwood floors, exposed brick, four private treatment rooms, a locker and robe room, and a finished shower suite. Building is elevator-served. Units may also be purchased separately — Unit #1 at $645,000 | Unit #2 at $595,000. Condo fees $765/mo per unit. ($1,530/mo. for both combined).
