In the rarefied strata of upper-end real estate, the Crescent City has some choice offerings that combine a heady mix of convenience, character, comfort and location, location, location.
At one iconic location, St. Charles Avenue in the downtown area, the comfort comes in the combination of three bedrooms, three full baths and one partial bath, and more than 2,700 square feet of space. The convenience comes in the fact the home is a condominium with a parade-perfect perch, with indoor parking for two vehicles.
And the character? Take a look inside this $2.199 million gem at 730 St. Charles Ave., unit 302.
