1900 Burgundy st
Own a piece of New Orleans history
A rich history
Built during the United State’s Gilded Age, 1900 Burgundy had more humble beginnings. In place of gold leaf, masts and boards from ships and barges make up its building blocks.
When this block was built, the Pontalba buildings were likely being erected. Plans were being drawn up for Jackson Square. Stately homes were going up on Esplanade. Nearby in the Marigny, life was bustling, and the living was exciting.

The home has been painstakingly restored to highlight its original features like gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, and bargeboard.
Every detail was considered to make this home a host’s dream. A double parlor steps from the parade route begs for Mardi Gras parties.

A kitchen with a large island and dining area that seats six looks forward to stories and gossip over multiple bottles of wine.

Best of all the private guest suite, with its own entrance and kitchenette, will allow you to be neighbors with your loved ones in small doses. They’ll be knocking on your door the day you get your keys to call the place home.
