About this property
Historic Farmhouse Uptown Near Tulane University
Step into secluded, tropical tranquility in this historic, renovated farmhouse in the University section of Uptown New Orleans! Enjoy the cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and open, inviting atmosphere inside, or the patio and lush garden outside. Built in the 1880s as a dairy farmhouse, around 1907, as the city grew, the owners sold the farm and the developer laid out streets. At this time the house was moved, by mule, a few hundred feet to its present location. The home is 3 blocks from Tulane University, near numerous restaurants and businesses, and about a 10 minute drive to the French Quarter and Medical District.
This home has a master bedroom with adjacent living room with sleeper sofa, a dining room, and an equipped kitchen with additional dining area and a washer/dryer. Wood floors, ceiling fans, high ceilings, a clawfoot tub and other original details create an open yet cozy setting from which to explore New Orleans. Fenced and situated in a cul de sac, the home, patio and garden offer a private, secure and serene environment to relax during your stay in the Crescent City.
Situated in the Marlyville neighborhood, the home is three blocks "lakeside" (north) of Tulane University, and close to numerous restaurants and businesses on Calhoun St. Its central location makes it easy to get to Audubon Park, the French Quarter, the Central Business and Medical Districts and the Convention Center. Tulane University, shops and restaurants are within walking distance blocks away. Uber and Lyft service is easy to get, and there is also a public bus service on Claiborne which can take you to downtown.
The home is set up as a duplex, and guests have access to the entire historic part of the home, as well as the fenced front patio and garden. Access to the addition and owner's residence is through the rear of the property.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This Eastlake-style home was originally constructed as a dairy farmhouse in the mid-1880s, and located nearby. It is an early example of a catalogue home, and it has at least one “twin” in uptown New Orleans. Around 1907, as the city grew, the owners sold the farm and the developer laid out streets. At this time the house was moved, by mule, a few hundred feet to its present location. The new owners added the bathroom, which today has the original claw foot tub. Throughout much of 1900’s, the Mart Family not only lived here, but five members of the family were born in the home. One of them, Gertrude Mart, lived here until the late 1980s.
By the 1990s, the place was derelict, and I purchased it from her heirs and began a complete renovation. I preserved as many of the original features as possible, while adding the addition on the rear. Most of the windows are original, and you can notice the circular markings on the clapboard on the front porch, which indicate that the wood was cut by a steam-powered saw. The armoire is also original to the home, and if you go outside to the rear of the house, near the left corner looking towards the street, you will see the brick foundation for the water tank.
Years ago, there was also a barn in the lot to the right of the house, which was the site of many dances according to the previous owners. The barn ultimately burned down; however some of the wood was salvaged. It appears that some of it was used for sills in this house, and also for rafters, the latter which suggests that the roof was damaged in a hurricane.
