About This Home
Wonderful opportunity to own a French Quarter single-family home for the price of a condo! This historic cottage (c. 1850) is located in the heart of the Vieux Carré and features an open floor plan with high ceilings, crown molding, abundant natural light, and a full kitchen. The spacious, private primary bedroom is tucked away at the rear of the home and includes a full en-suite bathroom. Exterior features include a rare private courtyard enclosed by a stucco brick wall topped with original broken bottle glass coping, a distinctive feature of historic French Quarter architecture. The courtyard also provides access to a separate room that is ideal for laundry or storage, while a side alley offers additional convenient access. Located just steps off Bourbon Street and within close proximity to St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, and all the restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and events the French Quarter has to offer!
