This picturesque Quarter single-family home is newer than older. It has basically been remade, yet it retains the environment and spirit of the hundred-year-old-plus home that it is. All appliances are Energy Star. There is insulation both under the house and in the third floor and attic. There are 5 working gas fireplaces. The chimneys have been sealed above and below. There are four recently installed central systems 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 tons. The ducts have been changed. There is a central dehumidifier for the house. The water heater is tankless. The electrical system has been rewired. The many windows have been replaced to code and with energy-saving Magnetite. The kitchen has been totally renovated and features a Viking stove. The many closets throughout the house were made and installed by Louisiana Closets. A full bar with an icemaker, a wine refrigerator, and a sink graces the long hallway between the double parlors and the half-bath. On the second floor, each bedroom features excellent closet space. A large hall closet contains the washer and dryer with folding space in between. The two bedrooms toward the back stairway and bathroom are smaller with beautiful and sound-proofed windows. One of the larger bedrooms toward the front has a fireplace and a bay window overlooking Royal Street leading into the Quarter. The large primary bedroom on the front of the house opens to the exterior second-floor balcony. The upper and lower balconies have been waterproofed. There are chandeliers in every room. The property features an electric carport gate and a gas grill connection. Additionally, it is equipped with a burglar alarm system, courtesy of Simply Safe. This house is for an owner wishing to enjoy the ambiance of the historic French Quarter. Situated on a corner, the feeling of openness as well as accessibility is to be valued.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
