823 Royal Street # 101

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Whether you know it or not, this rare free-standing charming condominium, INCLUDING 1,050 SQUARE FEET of lush, private courtyard space, is where you will want to live in the French Quarter! It is quintessentially the Vieux Carre! Situated in the 800 block of Royal Street, in the very heart of the French Quarter, merely 1.5 blocks from Jackson Square. You can actually hear the St. Louis Cathedral bells ringing. This is the first time since it was built, about two centuries ago, that this property is offered for sale as a condominium. This extremely charming two-story brick maisonette was built about 1830, has 820 LIVING SQUARE FEET, 2 bedrooms, 1.5-baths, and a living room - which flows into a kitchen/dining room. Natural light floods in from three sides. Want to reiterate that this unit INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL 1,050 SQUARE FEET OF COURTYARD AREA, SOLELY OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY UNIT # 101! Beautiful brick fireplaces provide a central anchor focus in each of the main rooms. Downstairs, the exposed beams and boards provide a beautiful overhead ceiling that provides another level of detail in the downstairs public rooms. This additional outdoor space is surrounded on three sides by tall brick walls, with a metal gate separating this private space from the adjoining common courtyard. This is a place where the inside flows to the outside, creating a seamless living and entertainment space. The courtyard space essentially doubles the amount of PRIVATE square footage you have available for daily life - a truly voluminous amount of outdoor space for seasonal entertainment and an unusually large amount for a French Quarter condo. Unit # 101 sits at the back of the property, which provides privacy and tranquility for the owner. There is no parking at 823 Royal. There are available spots for sale at an adjacent lot. Whether you are looking for a full-time home or a weekend pied-a-terre, this condominium totally fits the bill and much more.
