Property Description
Welcome to the iconic House of Broel, a Victorian/Antebellum mansion, wedding venue, and a piece of New Orleans history. The House of Broel is a treasured historic gem nestled in the heart of New Orleans, the original two-story home built in 1850, was elevated in 1884 by William Reneau and is a magnificent setting for intimate wedding receptions, events and parties. It also features 15ft ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen, and exquisite historic design. Make your way up to the second floor, which hosts one of many living quarters. Enjoy gorgeous views overlooking St. Charles Ave from the original front porch, a large living area, a kitchen with laundry room, and a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Off the main second floor is a comfortable enclosed back porch overlooking lush gardens, a pond and a patio but the second floor doesn't end there! Another wing of the home offers two spacious living areas and bedrooms, with plumbing available to create a full kitchen and bathroom. On the third floor, you are greeted with a time capsule of fashion: a vast collection of Bonnie Broel designs. The third floor also offers two potential bedrooms, a half bath, and a living area. At the heart of the home, you'll find enchanting private gardens and the carriage house, which includes an inviting living area, an open-concept kitchen, a bedroom, and one full and one half bathroom. There is also off-street parking with direct access from Jackson Ave. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the illustrious House of Broel, which is being offered to a new owner for the first time in over 54 years. This property has been a cornerstone of New Orleans culture and a haven for female entrepreneurs for over 120 years, most recently as an iconic wedding venue and the home of the legendary Bonnie Broel. Whether you envision it as your personal residence or as a unique business venture, this one of a kind property invites you to own a piece of history.
