Welcome to 'The Pearl, a New Orleans legend reborn. This iconic 1841 center hall 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 is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath rental, with the fourth bedroom and third full bath located in a separate rear dependency. The main house includes 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while the detached 1 bed / 1 bath dependency (with laundry) provides a flexible setup that may suit guests, a home office, or additional privacy. For listing purposes, this configuration is being offered as an option for those specifically seeking a four-bedroom setup where a detached fourth bedroom arrangement may be a fit. The main house is available unfurnished with occupancy beginning in early May. Spacious living areas, anchored by the classic center hall layout, provide an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living, while the home's historic character has been carefully preserved throughout. The property includes off-street parking with an electric rolling gate. 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.
