LOCATION, PRICE, LOCATION! Your chance to be in the heart of the Quarter! Located just one block off Jackson Square, this lovely studio apartment has a full kitchen with tin ceiling, granite counters, SS appliances, wood floors, and a large peninsula separating the living room with couch bed that will remain. Three sets of windows provide lots of natural light and a nice cross breeze when opened. It's the perfect spot for a weekend getaway! An intercom system with door release allows tenants to communicate with visitors and remotely unlock the Madison Street entrance door. All units in this historic circa 1853 building overlook a traditional New Orleans courtyard with fountain, an elevator connecting all floors, and a laundry room with 2 sets of washers/Dryers add to the owners' convenience. Fully furnished is a negotiable option. Owner/Agent
