Built circa 1830, 1127 Decatur Street is a 5,058-square-foot, four-story mixed-use building in the French Quarter, one block from the French Market. Both tenants ground-floor retail and the dependency have recently vacated, putting all three income components under one owner's control for the first time: storefront, second-floor apartment, and dependency, plus a third-floor residence and primary suite. The building sits on a 3,484.8-square-foot lot, zoned VCC-1, and is offered at $1,275,000, backed by a recent appraisal. The ground-floor storefront has original display windows and direct sightlines down Decatur Street. A separate passage beside the storefront leads from Decatur Street through exposed brick and plaster to the rear courtyard, giving the upper floors and dependency independent access. The second-floor apartment has wide-plank hardwood floors, original millwork, a full kitchen and bath, and French doors onto a gallery elevated two stories above the street. A covered walkway connects this floor to the dependency's second story, aiding ventilation. The third floor has two fireplaces and French doors to a private balcony with views of the Crescent City Connection, Esplanade Avenue, and Decatur Street. A tall arched window lights the third-floor stair landing, where a steep but solid original staircase climbs to an attic-level primary suite: an open bedroom with exposed timber framing, brick masonry, wood-paneled walls, stained-glass skylights, a bathroom with a cast-iron soaking tub and marble sink, and laundry. Behind the main building, a courtyard laid in aged brick leads to an original wooden staircase curved handrail, turned newel post, slender balusters and to a two-story dependency with a one-bedroom layout and a two-sided fireplace. The retail space previously leased for $2,500 per month; all units are now vacant. Buyers should independently verify intended uses, condition and rental potential.

About French
Quarter
French Quarter, located between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue, is a historic and nightlife New Orleans neighborhood with wrought-iron balconies and narrow, lantern-lit streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Bourbon Street at St. Peter Street, where music clubs, courtyard bars, and late-night bites spill into the sidewalks. Jackson Square frames a formal green with the St. Louis Cathedral and a steady rhythm of street performers. Preservation Hall and The Historic New Orleans Collection anchor the cultural calendar in intimate, old-world rooms. Creole townhouses, hidden patios, and brick alleys shape a walk-first lifestyle. The Mississippi River edge at Woldenberg Park adds breezes and long views beside the Moon Walk promenade.
