Located in the Downtown Financial District, The McAlpin may look quaint on the outside, but once you enter those double doors, you will be in awe of the grandiose space that welcomes you. Mahogany, granite, and sleek onyx decor creates the posh, refined living space of these condos.A dual elevator with double sided doors took me to the 6th floor to view the penthouse suite. The corridor to the condominiums is a bright, white open space reminiscent of a hotel or a department store. Residents each have long glass windows that overlook this space and some are decorated in seasonal themes just like if they had a front yard. The unit that I viewed had gigantic walk-in closets that were larger than the bathrooms. The Master bath was stunning, with both a shower and spa tub, as well as two sinks. The the main room was vast, covered in hardwood, and had an open kitchen with breakfast bar. All off the appliances are stainless steel with granite counter tops. There is also a small balcony that overlooks an old 1800s breezeway; a rare incredible sight. A winding staircase led to a small upstairs room with a rooftop patio, providing a unique view of the Carew Tower and Covington. The McAlpin units averages around 1,900 square feet, hosting 62 condos within the building. Price: $500,000+ read more
