Circa 1900 Craftsman Townhouse - an Historic Lower Garden District gem

Competitive monthly and weekly rates - inquire. Located just half a block from bustling Magazine Street in New Orleans’ historic Lower Garden District and two and a half blocks from St. Charles Avenue’s grand mansions and Mardi Gras parade routes, this recently renovated, fully updated, furnished 2-story, 1,300 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse is perfect for a family with children or two couples on a get-away.

HOUSE LAYOUT
The ground floor features an intimate living room, a powder room with toilet and sink, a dining room that seats 4-6, and a large kitchen with quartz countertops and ample storage.

Upstairs is comprised of 2 spacious bedrooms with 2 bathrooms separated from each other by a light-filled hall. The back bedroom (queen bed) has an en suite bathroom (shower/tub) that houses the stacked washer/dryer. The front bedroom (king bed), which is slightly larger than the back, has a smaller, adjacent bathroom (shower) that is accessed through the hall. Both bedrooms have 100% cotton sheets and good hypoallergenic, down-alternative pillows.

REVIEWS
Because this home is typically rented for several months to industry professionals who have rented through agents, it currently has very few reviews on VRBO. For reviews of another property we own (1 bed/1.5 bath "Short Term Rental" just two blocks away), see VRBO listing #1183620.

LOCATION
The home is within easy walking distance to almost everything, including the Convention Center, the WWII Museum, Magazine Street shopping and dining, the Garden District, St. Charles Avenue street cars, and a bit further, the French Quarter. Coliseum Square Park, the focal point of the Lower Garden District, is practically at your doorstep. In fact, it can you have a view of it from the back (queen) bedroom. The park boasts enormous live oaks, lovely walking paths, the beautiful Coliseum Fountain (great meeting place for locals and their dogs) and the recently restored Lafon Fountain (literally a stone’s throw from the house).

ARCHITECTURE
This house is representative of the Craftsman style architecture of the Arts & Crafts movement. It is one of the many diverse architecture styles found throughout New Orleans’ historic neighborhoods. Common to the Lower Garden District, this house is one side of a double townhouse. (The other side is also available through VRBO - listing no. 2049394.) The home retains its original quarter-sawn oak mantels and tilework surrounds, tall ceilings, and antique hardwood flooring.
