635 Saint Ferdinand Street

Love being out in the city as much as they love coming home? This 2-bedroom historic home allows you to have New Orleans right outside your front door and still come home to peace and quiet. Love dinner with friends, long walks along the river, coffee shops where the regulars know your name, and saying yes when people call but also just coming home, pouring a drink, and having no one ask anything of you? How about a space that feels open but not oversized? Where light fills the rooms throughout the day across original hardwood floors. This place has all that and more. Answer emails from the island, take your next meeting upstairs, spend the afternoon on the covered deck, or step onto the sun deck when you need a change of scenery. Read on the balcony, disappear in the soaking tub, throw the ball for the dog, or host friends for dinner without giving up your own place of repose. If multiple people work from home, there are enough places to spread out without either claiming the smallest room as "the office." Upstairs, the primary suite looks toward the river and skyline beyond. As the sun sets, the Crescent City Connection begins to glow while ships pass quietly along the Mississippi. A generous walk-in closet, thoughtful finishes, and a tall privacy fence make the home feel remarkably easy to say yes to. One block away you'll find Pond Coffee, Small Mart's weekend bagels, Bandit Barbershop, and NOCCA. Cross the tracks to Petite Clouet, where your laptop and dog are both welcome. Across the street sits the Krewe du Vieux den, while Monkey with a Fez Custom Carpentry is a reminder that this remains a neighborhood of artists, musicians, and makers. Short walk to Crescent Park. Turn left for Pizza Delicious, Elizabeth's, The Country Club, Bacchanal. Turn right and follow the river to the French Quarter and Aquarium, with river breezes, festivals, and live music often becoming part of the walk. This one is even better in person. See you there!
