Less is more with this smartly-designed unit. Love having overnight guests but don’t want a two-bedroom just for occasional visitors? Looking for a well-appointed home in a historic building without the higher cost and HOA fees of a larger unit? Here’s the solution – a quality one-bedroom that converts to a two-bedroom! Thanks to a gut renovation in 2018 that took many cues from the “tiny house” movement, this charming apartment packs in more comfort, functionality and storage than many units twice its size. Fifteen foot ceilings, loads of natural light (without direct sun) and a quiet location with leafy courtyard views all contribute to the unit’s livability, and the original oak-plank floors, brick walls and tall cypress windows securely anchor the place in NOLA’s history. A custom queen wall bed with wardrobes and storage drawers provides a comfortable place for your guests, and black-out curtains and a clever foyer that allows access to the bathroom without disturbing the master bedroom add to their – and your – privacy. Kitchen space is optimized with a recessed French door refrigerator and a custom heart-pine storage island that converts to a table seating four. Light granite countertops, cabinets with pull-outs, over- and under-cabinet lighting and a quiet dishwasher add to the enjoyment of this efficient space. The added 75 square foot loft (making this a 570 square foot unit) offers space to spread out and relax, and the compact office nook is a perfect spot for computer work. Natural light through a frosted glass pocket door enhances the custom bathroom, which includes a floating vanity, a quiet toilet and a marble walk-in shower with an illuminated medicine cabinet and a frosted sliding glass door. The bedroom closet is fitted with custom cabinets containing dedicated storage for shoes, hanging clothes and laundry, and built-in shelves and drawers make optimal use of the space. A mirrored in-wall cabinet provides a convenient place to store smaller items. Even the entry hall contributes to storage with four recessed cabinets and an overhead “attic” with a clever pull-down stair and roomy shelves that hold a surprising amount of things – think festival chairs, seasonal clothing, luggage and don’t forget your hurricane kit. The laundry closet features a quiet, stacked Bosch washer and dryer surrounded by shelves for even more storage. Intelligent systems control the door lock, HVAC, lighting and security. For example, the unit “knows” when you’re arriving and automatically adjusts the temperature, turns on the lights, opens the door and turns off the security cameras. Operate and program everything with your phone whether you’re in the unit or half a world away. Size matters… make the most it. Quality, functional space with a compact footprint – that’s carefree NOLA living!
