Ideally located for Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, this enchanting Garden District home offers a front-row lifestyle to New Orleans' most celebrated traditions while remaining a private retreat on a quiet, tree-lined street. A gated entry opens to an oversized 1885 front porch framed by antique stained glass. Inside, classic double parlors feature arched openings, original pocket doors, plaster medallions and detailed millwork. The home flows into a light-filled kitchen, breakfast area, and family room with 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a chic mid-century fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking lush gardens, a large deck and a whimsical treehouse all ideal for entertaining during festival season. Upstairs, the original staircase leads to two generous guest bedrooms with an adjoining bath and gallery wall. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a private balcony, spa-like bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and a large walk-in closet. Licensed short-term rental with strong income potential. Renovated historic homes this close to the parade route are rarely available.
