Property Description

Exceptional and architecturally significant c. 1810 masonry 4-bay, gable-ended Creole cottage with a detached two-story service building, connected by a stunning courtyard A rare original terracotta pantile roof—remarkably preserved—speaks to the home's enduring character, complemented by its original Creole tomato paint color. Set on an oversized 37 x 129 lot and surrounded by beautiful residential homes. Renovated in the 1960s by noted preservation architect John E. De Cell, AIA, as his personal residence, this is the first offering in over 60 years. The property has been thoughtfully maintained with a deep respect for its history and architectural integrity. The grounds are a true highlight, with multiple courtyards featuring mature plantings, antique brick patios, and water features. The detached two-story dependency is particularly special, offering a breezeway and a separate courtyard shaded by towering bamboo—a private retreat in the heart of the Quarter. Original details remain intact throughout, including wide plank floors, mantels, doors with transoms, and Palladian fan windows. Currently configured as three units, but can be used as four 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartments. Would also make a great single family with guest quarters. The two 1st-floor apartments in the main cottage are presently combined, creating a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit. The upper unit in the main house remains a separate 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment, and the detached rear building functions as its own large two story 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom residence with balcony overlooking the courtyard. Designated Blue-rated, reflecting its architectural and historical importance in the French Quarter. Featured in multiple publications including Vogue and Southern Accents. A rare opportunity to own a true piece of New Orleans history—either to preserve as-is or thoughtfully update. Bourbon Street at your doorstep, yet remarkably quiet and tranquil within and the courtyards are a world apart!
