1212 N RAMPART Street 400

There is something wonderfully indulgent about having your own place in New Orleans.

Perched three flights above North Rampart at the quieter edge of the French Quarter, this fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse combines the romance of historic New Orleans with beautifully finished interiors and a private balcony above the city.

Set within an intimate 1840s residence, the two-level home is filled with the architectural details that make the Quarter impossible to replicate: soaring ceilings with exposed beams, original brick, custom millwork, built-in bookcases and triple French doors opening to the balcony. The renovated kitchen features stone countertops, stainless appliances and an oversized island equally suited to morning coffee or cocktails with friends.

The flexible two-story floor plan offers privacy for overnight guests, while the second bedroom can also serve beautifully as a home office or additional living space.

Offered fully furnished, it is ready to enjoy from day one. Leave a wardrobe, lock the door and return whenever New Orleans calls.

Ideal as a pied-a-terre, second home or full-time residence for someone who values character over convention.

A private perch above one of the world's most extraordinary neighborhoods
