About This Home

Historic French Quarter Compound | Circa 1828 | Parking + Guest Suites Located in the heart of the French Quarter on its quieter residential side, this exceptional Creole townhouse blends historic character with modern luxury just one block from Bourbon Street, yet remarkably peaceful. Originally built in 1828, the property underwent a full renovation from 2009–2012, taken down to the brick with regrouted masonry, new foundation, steel reinforcement, updated electrical/plumbing, and geothermal HVAC. The result is a solid, low-maintenance stucco-over-brick residence with no wood construction. The main home features expansive living spaces and a stunning ~600+ sqft primary suite with spa-style bath and access to a wraparound balcony with original historic railing elements. Custom Murano crystal chandeliers, integrated AV, curated artwork, and designer furnishings (included) elevate the interiors. The property lives like a private compound, with two detached guest suites—each with full bath and private access, ideal for guests or flexible use. The courtyard is designed for entertaining and has hosted events of up to 75 people, complete with custom installations and a high-end Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen. Additional highlights include two off-street parking spaces (a rare Quarter asset), security gate/system, termite contract since 2009, and a roof replaced post-Katrina. The home did not flood during Katrina and sits on one of the highest/widest streets in the Quarter. Offered furnished and accompanied by a custom book detailing its history, this is a rare opportunity to own a true French Quarter legacy property within walking distance to world-class dining, nightlife, and year-round events. A turnkey luxury compound with history, privacy, and irreplaceable location, rarely available at this level in the Quarter.
