Résidence Unifamiliale À La Nouvelle Orléans

Love being out in the city as much as you love coming home? This historic 3-bedroom home sits on the edge of the Marigny and Bywater, where New Orleans is right outside your front door, and home still feels like somewhere you can cocoon.

Dinner with friends, long walks along the river, coffee shops where you are known, and saying yes when people call on your agenda? But so is coming home, pouring a drink, and having no one ask anything of you? You’ve found it.

There is SO much room to spread out. Work from the kitchen island, the dining table overlooking the backyard, the covered porch, upstairs, or the balcony depending on time of day. The third bedroom is currently an oversized walk-in closet and dressing room, but also makes an exceptional home office, nursery, guest room, gym, etc.

Light spills across original hardwood floors and 11-foot ceilings. So much room for art! Read on the balcony, disappear into the soaking tub, throw the ball for the dog, host dinner parties, or simply follow the sun from one favorite spot to the next.

Upstairs, the primary suite feels more like a New York studio apartment than a typical bedroom, with room to breathe, skyline views, and a balcony where the Crescent City Connection begins to glow as ships pass along the Mississippi.

One block from Pond Coffee, Small Mart’s weekend bagels, Bandit Barbershop, and NOCCA. Cross the tracks to Petite Clouet, where your laptop and dog are both welcome. Across the street is the Den of Muses, home to one of New Orleans’ best-known Mardi Gras krewes, while Monkey with a Fez Custom Carpentry is a reminder that this remains a neighborhood of artists, musicians, and makers.

It’s a short walk to Crescent Park. Head right for Pizza Delicious, Elizabeth’s, The Country Club, and Bacchanal. Turn left and follow the river to the French Quarter and Aquarium, where river breezes, festivals, and live music become everyday. Car optional.

This one is even better in person. See you there.
