About This Home

Built in 1824, this enchanting Creole cottage rests quietly in the heart of the French Quarter, where the soft chime of cathedral bells drifts through the air and glimpses of St. Louis Cathedral grace Orleans Avenue. The main two-story residence is a timeless retreat, where historic character and gentle elegance intertwine. Inside, warm masonry walls and rich wood floors create a sense of intimacy, while sunlight pours effortlessly through classic French doors, casting a golden glow throughout the home. The living room invites relaxed mornings and lingering evenings, while the newly designed gourmet kitchen—with its graceful butler’s pantry—offers a perfect setting for both quiet meals and intimate gatherings. Two serene bedrooms and two full baths provide private, restful sanctuaries. The home is thoughtfully configured across four separate electrical meters, allowing for flexible use and easy conversion into rental spaces. Just beyond, a secluded courtyard awaits—an oasis centered around a softly murmuring fountain. Here, time seems to slow, whether you’re sharing a candlelit dinner, enjoying a glass of wine under the open sky, or simply listening to the gentle rhythm of water. Across the courtyard, a charming two-unit guest dwelling offers a sense of privacy and possibility—quintessential for welcoming visitors or creating an additional source of income—while maintaining the peaceful, romantic spirit of this rare French Quarter haven
