Property Description
Step into 838 Chartres Street, an extraordinary property steeped in history & timeless elegance. Centrally located, wrapping the corner of Chartres and Dumaine Street, this remarkable property presents an excellent opportunity to those searching for a one-of-a-kind residence in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter. This site was also home to the first Planetary Observatory in 1730, built by Pierre Baron. After the 1788 fire, architechts Lambert & Lemoyne rebuilt these six row houses in 1828 to collectively form Cucullu Row, a testament to the city's architectural heritage and the oldest intact row in the Vieux Carré District.
With minimal modifications made to the property over the years, the row largely retains its architectural integrity as a testament to New Orleans history. Altogether, this property boasts a large commercial space + 3 residential units total. Offering extreme potential for investors looking to acquire a vast income producing property. Featuring 3 stories, with intricate wrought-iron balconies including wrap-around balcony on second floor over Dumaine & Chartres, high ceilings, ornately carved cornices, arched openings with fanlights & French doors throughout, beautiful hardwood floors & so much more. First floor includes commercial space + a 2-story, back carriage house with attached courtyard in between. The 2nd & 3rd floors each include one 1BR/1BATH unit per floor, both with exceptional balconies.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of New Orleans' architectural legacy!
