Property Description

A rare Marigny gem with gated parking only three blocks to the French Quarter. Originally built in 1886 and thoughtfully reimagined in 2015, the home was transformed from a single-story cottage into a gracious two-story, complete with a new foundation and metal roof. Inside beautiful architectural details create an atmosphere of understated elegance including soaring 11- to 12-foot ceilings, marble kitchen and baths, intricate custom millwork, triple crown molding, transoms, rich wood floors, and historic baseboards. A wall of windows overlooks the expansive rear porch and garden, inviting natural light to fill the living spaces and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Some recent upgrades include custom Spanish cedar shutters, iconic Bevolo gas lanterns, distinctive Arhaus and Jonathan Adler lighting, high-end appliances, fresh interior and exterior paint, and much more. Two spacious bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, offer privacy with a conveniently positioned laundry room separating them. All marble counters have recently been professionally cleaned and sealed. Outside, the garden is filled with Confederate jasmine, camellias, azaleas, and hydrangeas. The spacious rear porch offers a lovely setting for leisurely mornings, intimate gatherings, and peaceful evenings surrounded by greenery. At the front of the home, a welcoming porch practically invites you to settle into a rocking chair and enjoy the neighborhood's unmistakable character. If you want to live in the heart of it all including Mardi Gras, live music, parades, second lines and near all the great restaurants New Orleans is known for, this lovely home with an old soul is for you. One block to Frenchman St and two blocks to the river and Crescent Park. Property is completely fenced and gated. Bonus is a second parking space. Meticulously maintained. First showing at the Open House on Saturday, October 24th between 12-2 pm. Owner/Agent
