A rare development opportunity awaits to create a grand French Quarter corner estate, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern potential. Set on an expansive property spanning two addresses, the main residence exudes architectural splendor, with iconic features such as soaring 12-foot ceilings, hand-pulled plaster moldings, ornate fireplace mantels, Zuber & Cie French wall coverings, marble window sills, and hand-painted murals by acclaimed artist Paul Czainski. A wraparound gallery captures breezes from the nearby Mississippi River, while a serene, secluded courtyard offers a private retreat from the vibrant neighborhood. Complimented by a three-story Creole townhouse with six separate units and two independent balconies overlooking Chartres Street, this property is waiting to be converted to a grand compound, ideal for hosting or extended family stays. Connecting main house and guest quarters is a lush and secluded courtyard, offering a rare oasis in the heart of the city. Surrounded by greenery and historic masonry, this private outdoor space invites quiet relaxation or vibrant entertaining and is perfectly suited for the addition of a pool. Whether reimagined as a luxurious private compound or a boutique hospitality venture, this estate invites a thoughtful revival tailored to modern living.
