About this property

Stay to relax and enjoy New Orleans like a local. Perfect for a flexible, work from home lifestyle, with a high-speed WiFi mesh system and plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy lovely walks in our neighborhood, heading farther Uptown towards Loyola and Tulane Universities and Audubon Park, or over to the Garden District and along Magazine Street for 6 miles of curated shopping.

Built in the 1850s to resemble a steamboat, our Creole Bateau des Briques is conveniently located just 1 1/2 blocks off of St. Charles Avenue in Uptown New Orleans. The construction of the house spanned decades, with remnants dating to the 1830s. It's a unique property in our area, and rarer still to have so many original details intact.

Although our house is historic, it is by no means trapped in amber. We enjoy a mix of old and new and pay homage to its long line of storied inhabitants with treasured objects and art. Oddly enough, the father of a close friend of ours live here 100 years ago, along with his sisters and pet goat!

The entrance to the apartment is along the side of the house at the end of a cobblestone path. The floor plan is a sequence of rooms without hallways. The entrance is halfway towards the back of the house, which is typical of Creole architecture, and provides good separation between living spaces in lieu of hallways.

The front part of the house is made of wide plaster-coated brick walls with remnants of original coats of paint for an authentic patina. The dining room is in the very front, and its large table doubles as a generous work space in view of a Smart TV. The parlor contains ample seating and beautiful filtered light. Ceilings soar overhead at 13’ and are surrounded by original cornice mouldings and ceiling medallions with fish and pomegranate motifs. The front bedroom follows, with the entryway and main bathroom next in line.

At this point, the house's structure changes to wood, and the ceiling is slightly lower at 11 1/2’. The large kitchen is clad in original beaded-board walls, as is the back bedroom. The second bathroom is at the very end of the house.

Our house is a continual work in progress, and I’m grateful to have it as my pet project. Do know that some things have been allow to age, others have been made new, while the remainder will be tended to, as able. Work has been focused on the interior areas lately, and attention is turning to outdoor spaces and exterior painting next.

As this is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood, quiet hours must be maintained after 10 pm. No smoking is allowed anywhere on the property.

Architectural Delight in Garden District

Lovely and communicative owner (Mae) who has beautifully renovated while maintaining old and new feel in this architecturally delightful shared property (no noise) conveniently located in the Uptown/Garden District neighborhood. Interior design perfect for our family of three (parents with older teen). Original-like inspired kitchen (open and spacious) separated master bedroom (back in garden area w/views of three gorgeous 150+ year oaks), from guest bedroom situated next to front parlor living room area. Interesting layout that worked very well for our family of three. 13' ceilings with fans (and air conditioning) in each room provided excellent air circulation and comfort (critical for us). Interior walls renovated while maintaining a historic patina (marble-like appearance). Antique furnishings handsome yet practical. Decor a mixture that appeared inspired by nods to New Orleans history, modern design as well as nature. Honestly, 'felt like we were in an Architectural Digest photo shoot, but w/all the comforts of home. High quality bedding and bath products, and fully stocked kitchen that included amenities thatmatter: fresh milk, beverages in refrigerator, stocked cabinets w/coffee/tea/sugar, stocked kitchen, as well as freshly cut flowers in vases throughout. All conveniently located between Uptown/Magazine, Warehouse/French Quarter, and City Park. Felt like everything we were interested in seeing was only a 10-minute drive. Truly a delight and highly recommend!

Warm weather vacation in New Orleans

The rooms are beautiful, well appointed and very serene. The art was particularly beautiful! I loved the location! There were really good restaurants, stores and shopping nearby, and the street car was close too. My host was super friendly and very helpful. A lovely stay all around!

A perfect experience

Mae is a devoted and communicative host who also knows how to make herself scarce and leave her guests to their privacy. The property is beautifully and stylishly appointed. Beds were comfy, linens were soft, kitchen and laundry were well stocked. Located a few short blocks from the streetcar and Magazine St’s best dining, our only regret was that we had to leave. We can’t wait to return!

Quaint and Quiet

Just off streetcar line. Many sites and eateries within walking distance. Garden District highlight Easy commute to French Quarter, Central Business District, WWII museums etc Clean, comfortable; If quiet getaway is your objective, this is it.

About the host

Hosted by Mae

We are two tinkerers. When we're not keeping ourselves occupied at home, we enjoy kayaking and hiking in remote areas of Florida, Maine, and the Arkansas Ozarks.

Why they chose this property

This property is an architectural anomaly for our neighborhood and resembles homes found in the French Quarter. Finding a place of this era with so many features intact is a rarity. We bought it when we were young and scrappy and spent years working on it, earning an individual designation on the National Register of Historic Places. We were fortunate to have had our side featured in Susan Sulley's New Orleans Style: Past and Present, published by Rizzoli. And now it's our family home, where we enjoy it with our son and our long-term tenant.

What makes this property unique

Our house is centrally located with easy access to excellent New Orleans-based shops, grocery stores, and restaurants enjoyed by locals. We are 1 1/2 blocks off of St. Charles Avenue- a quick walk to the streetcar line.
