Overview
The ideal live/work downtown property or a chic historic residence, 7 & 9 Cordes Street is located in the heart of the French Quarter and zoned limited-business. There are countless ways to take advantage of this circa 1800 property, which was originally set up as two separate townhomes (for example: run your business on the first floor and have your home on the top two floors). The building has beautiful exposed brick, antique heart pine floors and beams, plenty of light, and a lot of potential. The owners completely rehabilitated the entire structural components of the house from the floor joists to the roof system and everything in between, including the plumbing, heating & air (4 zones), internet, cable, security, and electrical (2 separate meters). Currently, half of the downstairs is used for business purposes, with a dedicated half bath; the remaining half and the top two floors are used as residential space. On the first floor, the residential space includes a gourmet kitchen that opens into a living room centered around a fireplace. The second floor has a large master bedroom with its own fireplace and full bath, as well as an adjoining open living room. The third floor includes two large bedrooms with skylights and a half bath (which could easily be expanded into a full bath). Need some ideas for how to use the property? A. Two residential units with separate street level entrances; B. One separate large room office downstairs and a downstairs kitchen/living with two full floors of residential space above (both with separate entrances); C. A large two-room office occupying the entire first floor, with the top two floors as residential space (both with separate entrances); or D. Keep it exactly how it is. Parking space available at $110/month in garage at Cumberland & Prioleau. There are VERY few properties available with this sort of flexibility, and this is an excellent opportunity for those seeking an exciting live/work lifestyle.
