This historically significant 1838 carriage house—originally connected to the Creole Cottage and dependency at 2718 Chartres Street—offers an opportunity to own a fully modernized piece of New Orleans history in a great Marigny location. Perfectly blending timeless historic charm with modern convenience, this one loft/bedroom, one bath home features a large entertainment yard complete with an outdoor shower. Following its purchase in 2014, the property underwent a meticulous full rehab in 2017, upgrading everything from the interior framing, siding, brick tuckpointing, to the roofing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. The owner has continually fortified this historic home with updates, including a new 2022 HVAC system, a concrete block privacy wall and a rebuilt rear brick wall (2022). Don't miss your chance to own this historic gem—call us today to schedule your showing!

About
Marigny
Marigny, located between the French Quarter and Bywater, is a historic and artsy New Orleans neighborhood with Creole cottages and live-music corners. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Frenchmen Street at Decatur Street, where clubs, record shops, and late-night patios set a steady rhythm. The Spotted Cat Music Club, d.b.a., and the New Orleans Jazz Museum act as cultural anchors. Colorful shotgun houses and wrought-iron balconies line compact blocks that lead toward the Mississippi River. Crescent Park adds a long riverfront promenade for walking and skyline views. Cafes and small galleries cluster along Chartres Street and Royal Street, keeping the pace social and street-level.
