If walls could talk, this 186-year-old Lower Garden District treasure would have quite the New Orleans story to tell. Constructed in 1840 during the monumental excavation of the New Basin Canal, this property is deeply intertwined with the city’s rich and vibrant past. Today, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home stands as a blank canvas, presenting a rare and significant opportunity for a visionary buyer or passionate preservationist. Ready for a complete restoration, this is your chance to breathe new life into a true piece of local history. Priced to sell; bring your contractor, your imagination, and get ready to write its next historic chapter!!!
