Einfamilienhaus In New Orleans

Do you ever find yourself wandering the French Quarter on a Sunday morning, loving every minute of it... and then wondering where everyone goes when the crowds go home?

Walk three blocks up Esplanade onto Tremé Street, or follow Barracks a couple of blocks past the streetcar.
This is Old Tremé.

The music is still here. The bass line is still here. Sundays still have a pace all their own. St. Augustine, the cultural heart of the neighborhood and one of New Orleans’ enduring landmarks, is just a few blocks away, where gospel still serenades the streets on Sunday mornings.

1302 Barracks has quietly become part of that story.

Inside, the floor plan flows easily, with a ground-floor primary suite you’ll want to wake up in every morning and two upstairs rooms overlooking treetops and neighboring cottages. One is a beautiful guest room. The other, a sprawling studio for work, art, music, or movement.

The home feels warm rather than formal. Gorgeous hardwood floors, a full wall of exposed brick, brass antiqued fixtures, and rooms that invite you to stay awhile. Comfy enough for a rainy Tuesday, spacious enough to host a band.

The courtyard becomes an outdoor room of its own. Mature banana plants create a lush green canopy that feels almost theatrical, transporting you somewhere between a hidden New Orleans courtyard and a Parisian café—except here, the bananas are wonderfully real.

Conveniences include: off-street parking, storm shutters, generous storage, and the kind of lock-and-leave confidence that makes it just as easy to head to dinner as it is to head to Paris.

This home invites you to invite the world in. That’s exactly what we’re doing on Tuesday, Aug 11.

We’re opening the doors for a neighborhood celebration inspired by the home’s Little Free Library. Bring a gently loved book to benefit the Public Library, enjoy live local music, meet neighbors, and experience a corner of Old Tremé the way we believe it was meant to be experienced.
