1031 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA

Three residences | One private French Quarter compound. There are homes that have lived lives of their own. 1031 Chartres is one of them. Built circa 1824 on land once held by the West India Company and later by the Ursuline nuns, this Creole cottage sits quietly in the residential section of the French Quarter—just far enough from the crowds to feel like you belong to another time. Now offered in its entirety, this private compound includes: the main Creole cottage, a historic rear guest house, three distinct living spaces, and a walled courtyard so serene it feels like a secret kept for generations. In the early 2000s, the property received preservation awards for its thoughtful restoration—and it shows. The current owners have maintained it with care, choosing not to modernize or cover up what makes it special. Inside, you’ll find historic brick floors, exposed beams, tall French doors, and hand-built details that feel untouched by trend. Two of the residences open directly to the courtyard. The third, set at the rear, is smaller and needs work—but it’s included, offering privacy, flexibility, or future guest quarters if restored. Properties like this don’t come around often—because most haven’t survived this beautifully intact. This isn’t a flip or a fresh remodel. This is for someone who sees the beauty in what’s been preserved. A buyer who understands that caring for history is part of living it. Bring your vision. Bring your reverence. And bring your walking shoes—the Quarter’s calling. Note: Unit 1 is currently receiving a fresh coat of paint in the upstairs rooms—please forgive our mess if you stop by for a showing.
