Historic 2-Story Shot-Gun Garden District Double.

This Historic Creole Cottage was built in the 1830s and possesses all the unique charm of old New Orleans. Let’s visualize your arrival curbside to a brick-paved wooden cottage surrounded by wrought-iron fencing. It is adorned with large shuttered windows, red doors and a breezy porch. The scene is great for an outdoor snowball/po-boy picnic or cool cocktail prior to walking to the nearby art/antiques boutiques only two blocks away at Magazine Street. Imagine the smell of barbecue from the smokehouse only a block away and crepe myrtle flower petals blowing in the breeze( a Garden District classic). Let’s enter the red door and experience a charming French provincial living space with modern amenities. The black granite countertop has stainless steel backsplash and is equipped with toaster, coffee maker, bagels and microwave. There is a seated dining area for 6. The table is covered with place settings and a centerpiece. The fridge is stocked with water and wine per your order. You feel at home. Now you can head upstairs to the loft or walk through the kitchen into a hallway.

Upstairs there are 3 beds (2 twins and 1 queen) in a 19 ft by 12 ft area. There is a television within an armoire and a closet. 2 seating areas are available as well. Upstairs is carpeted with a window for natural lighting.

If you remain downstairs there is a short hallway which leads pass a full immaculate bathroom and another private bedroom with a full bed and bench seating and finally ending in the office pallor. This multi-purpose office pallor has a roll top desk, a television, a laundry closet and large couch to lounge on. This is a great scene for kids to watch television as they wait to attend the zoo, aquarium or a parade which are minutes away.

After walking through the office pallor, you will want to lounge but the master suite awaits as you sashay through. The master suite has a bathroom and separate study area that can double as an additional room by closing the pocket doors. The bedroom has a queen bed and the study has the television with a 2 daybed trundle sets that sleep 2 each. There is also a double mirrored closeted hallway leading to master bathroom.

If requested it is okay to the keep walking to additional space through the back master suite which loops into a connected mirror image open space with extra bathroom, extra television then with sofa sleeper, extra kitchen space, extra dining space, extra loft with 4 more twin beds and extra private room. Ask for unrestricted access to this space to expand living quarters from a 1500 sf to total 3000 sf.

The home is a double 3000$ square feet with a large back yard adding another 1500$ square feet of outdoor space. The home is a modified 2 story creole cottage. The traditional 1835 cottage is a shotgun style home with stairs leading to upstairs loft in the front, then room after room leading back into kitchen and lastly the bathroom . We modified one side of the double to place common area in the front with back master. We kept the other side more traditional. The traditional side is the extra space that a group of 12 would automatically get.

All furniture is elegant and antique. All bedding is cleaned, fresh and 400+ thread-count. There is central air, cable TV and wi-fi and security locks at the gates. You will enjoy this home so much, that you may not leave and enjoy a night on the town at the casino, Frenchmen Wharf’s live jazz and bourbon street (all 5 minutes away). Please come and enjoy our brand of hospitality and experience world renown entertainment, restaurant cuisine, tours, architecture and music. Lassiez Bons Temps Rouler!
