Accommodations: Historic Home Circa 1850, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
This lovely, historic home is located in the heart of the Garden District of New Orleans. Surrounded by beautiful homes and mansions yet walk able to favorite points of interest in New Orleans.
Built by a wealthy American shortly after the United States purchased Louisiana in 1803, this Garden District home exudes elegance that stimulates the senses while it also soothes the soul. Raised at Oak Alley Plantation, and imbued from a young age with the awe inspiring, inimitable charm that defines the South, the owner extends a unique opportunity of living “yesterday” to the visitor of today. Incidental to the ambiance are the spacious, architecturally appointed, high ceilinged rooms, and a kitchen that’s large enough to accommodate a “Second Line” performance.
No less significant is the home’s location or the amenities it offers the short or long term visitor. Situated in a unique “pocket” in Uptown New Orleans and the Garden District, it affords an incomparable, two block access to numerous notable restaurants, antique shops, boutiques, spa salons, Mardi Gras parade routes, and the more mundane: pharmacy, grocery, and a hardware. The French Quarter, Audubon Park’s amusements and golf course are easily accessed by public or private transportation.
Fully furnished with wireless internet and multiple, fully equipped televisions, the home is also suitable for use by the corporate executive. Notable, too, is the homes separate storage capability: besides the ample floor to ceiling closets in each bedroom, the storage/laundry area affords an additional 80 linear feet of shelf space, more than enough to accommodate a family’s long term visit. The patio and lush gardens afford a respite from whatever stress remains after a sojourn in the Giseppi Pieri inspired master bath.
A beautiful 3 block walk to historic St. Charles Avenue where guests can hop on the streetcar and venture to the French Quarter, World War II Monument and Museum, Aquarium and enjoy many sites in the New Orleans' historic districts. Travel uptown on the streetcar and take in the mansions lining St. Charles Avenue to beautiful Audubon Park and Zoo. This streetcar ride will take you past Tulane and Loyola Universities facing Audubon Park.
Charming New Orleans architecture with high ceilings, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Spacious floor plan with living room, separate dining room, large eat-in kitchen, 2 large bedrooms and 2 full baths filled with comfortable decor and a library for browsing.
Just two blocks from busy Magazine Street where guests can find boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, antiques, grocery shopping and spa services. The outdoor space is a magnificent example of lush New Orleans courtyards with sitting areas to enjoy the lovely plants and flowers found throughout the Garden District.
