This lovingly restored 1890s double shotgun camelback in the heart of the Marigny is a design wonder and investor’s dream. Two one bedroom apartments on the first level feature original hardwood floors, pocket doors, historic fireplaces, transoms, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Both are painted in custom colors and have sleek kitchens with open shelving and beautifully designed bathrooms, along with custom lighting and fixtures. The Louie, the upstairs 2 bedroom apartment, has had great success as a short term rental and has been featured in design magazines. It is a perfect blend of historic and modern design. The entry is just beyond a jasmine-flanked upper deck that overlooks a sweet courtyard full of tropical plants and palms. It has a historic claw foot tub, antique gas range, brass fixtures, open shelving, and a moody den with bookshelves and brass light fixtures. The two loft bedrooms have painted white plank floors. This beautiful home is perfectly located in a neighborhood with a Bohemian vibe—palm trees line the streets where you’ll find sidewalk cafes, parks, jazz clubs, and world famous restaurants. It’s a 5 minute walk to Frenchmen Street and a 10 minute walk to the French Quarter. This place is a perfect spot for all the Bywater and Marigny parades and is a great gathering spot for the St. Ann parade on Fat Tuesday.
