Welcome to 'The Pearl, a New Orleans legend reborn. This iconic 1841 residence, long known for its vibrant history and unforgettable gatherings, has been thoughtfully renovated to blend its storied past with modern comfort. Nestled on historic Desire Street, The Pearl stands as a timeless expression of the city's charm and character. This offering includes the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath main house, available unfurnished with occupancy beginning in early May. Spacious living areas provide an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living, while the home's historic character has been carefully preserved throughout. The rear dependency (1 bed / 1 bath with laundry) is leased separately at this price. Off-street parking remains dedicated to the main house tenant. For those seeking additional space or a fully private compound, the property is also available as a full offering including the rear dependency at a higher rental rate, providing added flexibility for guests, workspace, or extended living. Located in the Bywater, one of New Orleans' most established and character-rich neighborhoods, with close proximity to Crescent Park, the riverfront, and a highly walkable mix of local restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. While the legendary celebrations of The Pearl's past live on in spirit, this beautifully restored home is ready for its next chapter. Come be part of its ongoing story. Pets considered on a case-by-case basis. No smoking inside property.
