708 Mandeville Street, New Orleans, LA 70117

Bragging rights built in. Raised in the late 1830s--the same era that shaped much of the French Quarter--this early-Marigny brick shotgun double is a unicorn in a wood-frame city. Documented in the New Orleans Architecture series, it still wears its stepped hip roof, plastered facade, stringcourse, and parapeted rear gable nearly two centuries on. Two wings, two entrances, two ways to live. Front = the public life: office/studio/gym that flips when friends roll in. Back = the retreat: three quiet bedrooms, with a primary suite + lounge + wet bar--perfect when family visits and stays (a weekend...or a month). Kitchen is right-sized on purpose: morning coffee, evening cocktails, everyday prep--then let the covered deck, grill, and neighborhood dining do the heavy lifting. Fenced yard + hot tub extend the night and make hosting easy. Six rooms. Six baths. A documented 1830s brick rarity in the early Marigny--steps to the Quarter, balanced for real life, and absolutely brag-worthy.
