This incredible Old Masonry Warehouse dates back to the 1840's, and now exists as a charming Bed & Breakfast off a quiet alley in the French Quarter. The picturesque entrance off Unity Alley takes you through the carriage house, which houses 5-6 cars, and into the serene central courtyard where impressive double bronze entrance doors open to the fabulous interior. A gorgeous marbled entryway creates a memorable introduction to this restored property. Once inside, you are greeted by the dramatic living room with a beautiful fireplace and soaring ceilings, overlooking the courtyard. The main floor also offers a bright kitchen with a large seated island, cozy breakfast or sitting room with a fireplace, and a spacious bedroom with a lovely chandelier, marble bath, and laundry/utility room. Four spacious and extravagant bedrooms with en suite baths provide gracious accommodations. This unique property can be used for a myriad of clients. The location and potential of this building offers a phenomenal opportunity.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
