    What's special

    Modern up-to-date kitchenBeautifully landscaped river walkBlack-diamond quartz countertopsFormal dining area
    If you are looking for your ONCE IN A LIFETIME AND ONE OF A KIND Penthouse-Style Living that is private and luxurious, then step into this exquisite Mississippi River gem which awaits you. Nestled on the fourth Chickasaw Bluff, the highest of the four Chickasaw Bluffs, this condominium overlooks the mighty Old Man River with an unparalleled, panoramic view of downtown Memphis, the nightly synchronized colored “Mighty Lights” show of the “M” I-40 bridge, and the farmlands of Arkansas. At your doorstep resides the award-winning, renovated 31-acre, mile-long, waterfront Tom Lee Park, Ashburn-Coppock Park, Martyrs Park, and the beautifully landscaped River Walk, which if you go south will carry you across the pedestrian “Big River Crossing” bridge of I-55 to Arkansas and beyond for miles. If you go north, you will connect with the River Walk of the famous 1.2-mile long, 52-acre, Mud Island River Park, which connects with the Wolf River Greenbelt that goes eastward along Wolf River for some 26 miles to Germantown then all the way to Collierville. Upon entering this one of kind 2,362 sq, ft., 2 BR, northeast corner unit, the largest and only two bedroom unit in the building, you will experience the perfect blend of charm and sophistication with its beautifully, spaciously, and graciously appointed and breathtaking “Great Room,” highlighted by the stunning, imported, Italian limestone fireplace where you can lounge away your morning in warmth and sophistication while sipping coffee underneath a raised ceiling. The Great Room, with its thoughtfully designed finishes, includes a cozy breakfast nook where you can enjoy a relaxed meal in front of the bay windows. In the same Great Room is the formal dining area, the modern up-to-date kitchen with its custom magnetic drawer cherry cabinetry and black-diamond quartz countertops, which includes a two-seater dining/bar niche. Finishing off the thoughtfully designed Great Room are the TV lounging area, which is perfect for relaxation and entertainment, and two tub chairs, which occupy the bay windows opposite the breakfast nook and are so comfortable you will spend hours relaxing, reading your favorite book, or having extended conversations. The Great Room is capped off with stunning ¾-inch oak hardwood flooring. No matter where you are in the Great Room, you will have an expansive view through the twenty-two-linear-foot bay windows, which overlook the mighty Mississippi and will make you feel more connected to your surroundings as though you are sitting inside a scenic overlook. Down the hallway is the large versatile second/guest bedroom, which could be used beyond just a sleeping quarter depending on one’s lifestyle. It also overlooks the mighty Mississippi with its large patio doors, which leads to a welcoming, spacious 64 sq. ft., private balcony. At the end of the hallway, you enter the expansive, serene master suite, which overwhelms everyone with its bay windows and its cozy sitting area with two tub chairs, which once again offers a panoramic view of the glistening water of Old Man River, all of which exudes warmth and character. If that is not enough, across from the California king-sized bed, there is a large TV sitting area large enough for a recliner and large couch, along with a computer workstation with a backdrop of a bookcase that covers an entire wall. From the master suite, one can enter a large “her” closets, ample enough for anyone, and the master bathroom with a walk-in shower, marble countertop with magnetic drawer cabinetry, and a large mirror. To top it off, from the master bedroom, step out onto your spacious balcony with its unrestricted view of the river, downtown, and Arkansas farmland. Here you can relax and soak in the ever-changing, idyllic surroundings or partake of a light meal on a small table. From here and the bay windows, you will be able to witness all the daily scenes on the river, which are ever changing with no two days being alike.
