Historic Farmhouse Uptown Near Tulane University

Step into secluded, tropical tranquility in this historic, renovated farmhouse in the University section of Uptown New Orleans! Enjoy the cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and open, inviting atmosphere inside, or the patio and lush garden outside. Built in the 1880s as a dairy farmhouse, around 1907, as the city grew, the owners sold the farm and the developer laid out streets. At this time the house was moved, by mule, a few hundred feet to its present location. The home is 3 blocks from Tulane University, near numerous restaurants and businesses, and about a 10 minute drive to the French Quarter and Medical District.

This home has a master bedroom with adjacent living room with sleeper sofa, a dining room, and an equipped kitchen with additional dining area and a washer/dryer. Wood floors, ceiling fans, high ceilings, a clawfoot tub and other original details create an open yet cozy setting from which to explore New Orleans. Fenced and situated in a cul de sac, the home, patio and garden offer a private, secure and serene environment to relax during your stay in the Crescent City.

Situated in the Marlyville neighborhood, the home is three blocks "lakeside" (north) of Tulane University, and close to numerous restaurants and businesses on Calhoun St. Its central location makes it easy to get to Audubon Park, the French Quarter, the Central Business and Medical Districts and the Convention Center. Tulane University, shops and restaurants are within walking distance blocks away. Uber and Lyft service is easy to get, and there is also a public bus service on Claiborne which can take you to downtown.

The home is set up as a duplex, and guests have access to the entire historic part of the home, as well as the fenced front patio and garden. Access to the addition and owner's residence is through the rear of the property.
