Home Details
This rare four bay Creole Cottage, dating to 1830, was completely restored to its present condition in 2004, receiving the Vieux Carre Commission s Renovation Award in 2008. With 3BR and 2-1/2 baths, the home sits right in the middle of the French Quarter close to the city s best restaurants and cultural venues. Walking distance to a hardware store, neighborhood bars, a grocery store, both Armstrong Park and Jackson Square, the Saengar Theater, and the New Orleans Athletic Club. All of these nearby places add to the livability of this ideal French Quarter location.
You enter the home through a large living room with generous proportions and tall ceilings. In addition to the main rooms downstairs, a 260 square foot flagstone paved courtyard is accessible from both the kitchen and one of the downstairs bedrooms, making it perfect for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, and Al Fresco outdoor dining. From the primary bedroom upstairs, a room length balcony looks down over the courtyard. This is a perfect garden oasis. The upstairs suite includes the primary bedroom, a large luxury bathroom, and a substantial dressing area.
The 2004 restoration included the installation of antique brick in the kitchen and dining area, and repurposed antique cypress floor from an Uptown warehouse. The updated features of the house include modern baths and all amenities. Two of the fireplaces have been retrofitted with gas, for those cold mornings and to provide a glowing atmosphere during cocktail parties. The primary HVAC unit was replaced in the fall of 2023. The roof is a traditional mix of slate and metal.
