Views for Days: $19.5M New Orleans Penthouse Is Louisiana’s Most Expensive Listing

A sprawling penthouse perched above New Orleans in the Four Seasons tower has just hit the market for $19.5 million, making it Louisiana’s priciest listing.

Built in 2020, the four-bedroom condo is the “impressive result of designer Olivia Erwin” and was “curated for the supremely discerning buyer,” according to the listing.

Spanning 4,302 square feet, this penthouse is the building’s largest.

“The arrival of The Four Seasons has been a game changer for the New Orleans waterfront property, and provided a level of luxury and ease never available before,” says Elizabeth McNulty, of Latter & Blum – Garden District. “It’s all about the views and allowing those who really love the spirit of this one-of-a-kind city to trade their high-maintenance historic homes and gardens for bespoke condo living.”

A dramatic living room features a soaring ceiling, stylish light fixtures, and oversized windows with priceless views.

There is also a very unique conversation piece here—the original fireplace from the bygone Plimsoll Club.

“The Club used to be a place where people would go for drinks after work and dance,” McNulty says. “The fireplace was originally wood-burning but is now gas. They moved it to this unit to make it stand out even further.

Designed for grand-scale entertainment, the bright and airy dining room is large enough to accommodate a dining table for up to 12 guests.

“The most impressive thing about this home, besides being under the Four Seasons brand, is the truly panoramic views,” she noted. “It takes on three sides of the compass with east, north and west views. It is also the largest residence in the building, and the buyer would have full access to all of the hotel’s amenities.”

Fifteen-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows found throughout the residence offer jaw-dropping views that range from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain.

The deluxe, all-white kitchen features beautiful hanging light pendants, a waterfall island with sink, and seating for up to four.

A light wood-paneled office is complemented by dark wood floors, custom millwork, and built-in cabinetry. The spacious primary suite has a separate sitting area, soaking tub, and walk-in dream closet with built-ins.

The perks come with a price: There’s a $6,996 monthly association fee that offers access to the hotel’s five-star amenities, including a spa and fitness center,  24-7 room service and dining from two upscale restaurants.

The buyer also has access to a private Residents’ Lounge complete with private bar, golf simulator, screening room, children’s playroom, and original historic dining room. Other perks include a round-the-clock valet car service and indoor parking, along with a dedicated concierge, and two private elevator banks to access the penthouse unit.
