Map & Owner's Profile
Authentic Original Greek Revival House on Magazine Street!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose New Orleans
This house is in an ideal location. Just between the grand houses of the Garden District and the great restaurants of the Warehouse district, on a beautiful, residential, tree-lined stretch of Magazine street. It has a coffee shop on one corner and one of New Orleans' best breakfast diners in the city near the other.
We love this location as it is close to everything, safe, and great people in the neighborhood.
Everyone say's "hi" and everyone watches out for each other. Very different from our experiences in Chicago and New York. New Orleans is truly different.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Huge screen projector television in main media room, master bedroom has 42" plasma with TIVO and DirecTv as well. DVD players in both.
Shopping on Magazine street along with antique and window browsing is a must. And, the Dome and Arena are almost within walking distance for sporting and entertainment events. We can't see ever selling this wonderful house.
House is on quiet, tree-lined, residential, safe neighborhood with coffee shops and diner on the block. Just blocks to street car to uptown or the French Quarter!
Owner's Map of New Orleans
Todd and Diana Grove moved to New Orleans in 2003 and purchased this magnificent house in 2004. It was undamaged by Katrina, as it is on high original Mississippi River berm or natural levee.
The Grove's are producers of live theater and events, and moved to New Orleans when they fell in love with it and, of course, the weather. Chicago was just too cold.
