1302 BARRACKS ST New Orleans, LA 70116

Add this one to your tour. If your search started in the French Quarter or Marigny, keep walking. You may be surprised what this address just off Esplanade buys you. 1302 Barracks sits on one of those New Orleans blocks that makes people stop once they actually see it: wide, beautifully maintained, lined with remarkable architecture, and surprisingly peaceful.We've sold a lot of houses in this city, and it's rare to stand at the windows and get a streetscape that reads almost like a field guide to New Orleans architecture.And this is very much a single-family home — more than 2,100 square feet, with gated off-street parking, gas cooking, generous storage, a private brick courtyard, and some of the lower-maintenance ease that sends people looking at condos in the first place. The primary suite is downstairs and unusually large; upstairs, two more rooms give guests, family, work or hobbies their own floor.The location keeps surprising people too. Walk to Cabrini Park, St. Augustine Church, Armstrong Park and the Mahalia Jackson Theater, Little Dizzy's, Buffa's, Port of Call, MaMou, The Crustacean Club, Cosimo's, Lafitte's or the Golden Lantern — then come home to a quieter block with easy street parking and your own gated space.At dusk, the lamps come on, the houses glow, and the whole block gets even better.If your search started in the French Quarter, keep walking. You may be surprised what this address just off Esplanade buys you. It's easy to show. Make sure you include it in your search. It needs to be seen to be understood.
