7/9/06 - If unique, modern designs that retain original period features are what you’re looking for, then don’t miss the upcoming 310 South Main Condos in the heart of the Downtown Memphis South Main Arts District. Developers Ray Porter and Terry Kerr, of Porter Kerr Investments are currently transforming 310 South Main into six luxurious, contemporary condos featuring Porter Kerr’s trademark quality and architectural craftsmanship.

Located between Vance and Pontotoc and built in 1909, 310 South Main’s restoration retains its original brick and limestone facades while inside, cutting edge conveniences abound along with original features such as exposed brick, wood plank flooring, period woodwork and coal fireplaces with mirrored mantels.

First-floor condos feature soaring 14-foot ceilings, 8-foot windows, master bedroom plus second bedroom or loft space above the kitchen, master baths with shower rooms and private rear courtyard. Second-floor condos have 12-foot ceilings, skylights, master bedroom overlooking Main St, clawfoot tubs in master bath and private roof deck. Condos range in size from approx. 1,200 sq.ft. to 1,800 sq.ft. and each unit has its own security system. This building also offers a spacious secured, private parking garage, just below the condos.

Inside the recently finished model, you’ll find professional decorating by Scan Interiors of Memphis along with available design options. “All upgrades are standard, including upgraded full frontal cabinetry, period lighting and fixtures throughout,” says Amy Batson and Elizabeth Webster of RE/MAX on the River, whose office is located just down the street at 500 S.
