The chef's kitchen is both timeless and functional, featuring white marble countertops, three sun-filled windows, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and thoughtful finishes that complement the home's historic fabric. The second-floor primary suite is a true retreat, complete with dual custom built-in closets, a fireplace, and a luxurious bath with a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub offering views of St. Philip's Church steeple. A guest bedroom with en suite bath overlooks the French Quarter rooftops, while a dedicated laundry room and built-in storage complete the level. The third floor provides two additional bedrooms or flex space along with a newly added bathroom, with previously approved architectural plans by Glenn Keyes to add dormers.

Originally constructed in the early 19th century following the Great Fire of 1810, the property later housed Marle's Bakery,one of the French Quarter's longest-running neighborhood institutionsbefore its mid-century conversion to a private residence.
