Property Description

This is for people who love the French Quarter ? the brick, the age, the feeling ? but don't necessarily want to live right in the middle of it anymore. This house was built in the late 1830s, a full decade before the Creole cottages by the Ursulines Convent and long before the grand homes on Esplanade. It carries that same old-world weight because it was here when the Quarter was still becoming itself. What makes it especially good to live in now is how much room it gives you to actually have a life. Not a double shotgun, but two defined wings that feel like one home ? just with more places to be. One side can be you and your everyday life: bedroom, lounge, quiet. The other is where you paint, work, exercise, host, spread out, make a mess, and then close the door when you're done. There's also a side entrance, so you can come and go without moving through the whole house. You have over 2,300 square feet to yourself here at around a $650K entry point, which, if you've ever tried to make a life work in the Quarter, you know is a very different experience. Outside, you can pull right up and park. No permits. No circling. Open sidewalks where you can walk, sit, breathe, and come home without strangers inches from your windows or leaning on your door. And you're still on foot to Orange Couch, Who Dat Cafe, and Peter & Paul with the Elysian Bar. At the end of the day, you come home to a deck, a backyard, and a hot tub ? with the city close, but not on top of you. Six bedrooms. Six baths. A large primary suite. A home that feels like the Quarter on its best, slower days ? all the time.
