Additional features:

Turn key pied-de-terre in one of the best locations in the French Quarter!
Welcome to the historic French Quarter! Nestled between World famous Royal Street and Bourbon Street, lies 727 Barracks Street. This area of the Quarter is mostly residential and quiet, with only a few retail spaces intermingled. Within our block is a wonderful florist! Within a block and a half are two wonderful restaurants, an imports shop, a great neighborhood bar and on the next block off Royal Street is a great little market and food counter! Everything you could need within a block and a half! Now that's the Big Easy!!!

The building is a circa 1840 four-story French Quarter house with a private courtyard (shared between units). The entrance is flanked by a pair of gas-lit lanterns. Upon entering the gated entrance, one walks through a breezeway toward the courtyard. In the breezeway are two units on one side and louvered door storage spaces on the right. In one of the storage spaces is a full-sized, coin-operated washer and dryer.

Entering the courtyard, the building extends further on the left, which was the previous slave quarters. Three units occupy this area. These units have an exterior stairwell for their access. To the immediate left of the courtyard is the entrance to the interior stairwell. It's what New Orleans is known for, spiraling cypress staircases and beautiful banister railings, stretching up and up and up!

Upon reaching the second landing, one enters Unit 8. It is a one bedroom, one bathroom unit with 442 square feet. We are selling the condo, fully furnished, for $214,900! BEST PRICE FOR A CONDO WITH A BALCONY AND DOWNTOWN VIEW IN THE QUARTER!!! The monthly homeowner's dues are only $161.00! There are a total of ten units in the building.

The front entry opens off the interior stairwell, in to a short +/- 8 foot hallway that opens in to the kitchen mid-way, and then through to the bedroom.

The full kitchen is loaded with a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, stovetop range/oven, vent-hood, sink and lots of cabinet space. It is fully stocked with bar ware, silverware, glasses, dishes, utensils, wine and champagne glasses and more!

The bedroom offers +/- 12 foot ceilings, crown molding, wide-plank cypress floors, natural brick walls on two sides, an original fireplace that is not functional, a desk area with a desk, a double reach-in closet and a Hunter ceiling fan. The queen sized bed is brand new and features down lighting above the pillows that dims to three different settings. All pillows and linens are of the finest quality and were completely replaced in July 2007! The bedspread was professionally dry cleaned that same month.

Off the bedroom is the bathroom. It is in two parts. A changing/vanity area and the bathtub/shower/commode area. Once again... the most plush of white cotton linens, all replaced in July of this year!

Between the bedroom and living room is a door for privacy. The living room is yet another incredible room with +/- 12 foot ceilings and wide-planked cypress floors! The ceiling comes alive with a beautiful stainless Hunter ceiling fan and two rows of halogen spots that can be dimmed down to any level! These spots act to highlight all the furnishings and wall hangings. These include a beautiful mirror above the second fireplace, a fleur-de-leis and a huge wood arched window piece that has clear and blue glass panes that was recovered out of an old building being destroyed. The furniture in this room is larger than life! Two large spiral-backed chairs, a coffee table, a full-sized couch that folds out in to a comfortable queen sized bed and an entertainment center that contains a television, stereo system, CD player and DVD player.

Off the doorway from the living room, one steps on to a true piece of French Quarter history and charm... the balcony!! Featuring views of Barracks Street, Bourbon Street, the surrounding rooftops of the French Quarter, the high-rise buildings of downtown New Orleans glowing in the evening sky AND even a ship on occasion making its way up or down the mighty Mississippi River, one feels at home in their French Quarter flat!!! The balcony is the perfect place for coffee, tea and of course, cocktails! Enjoy and savor the sights and sounds of the Vieux Carre!

Please take a look at our condo for yourself and try not to fall in love!!! (Internet 5529428)
