3623 CHARTRES Street

An extraordinary architectural residence in the heart of the Bywater, this one-of-a-kind 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends historic New Orleans character with contemporary design. Centered around a stunning open-air courtyard, the thoughtfully designed floor plan creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, culminating in a private rooftop terrace with Mississippi River views. Rich architectural details—including soaring ceilings, heart pine floors, artisan tilework, and handcrafted millwork—define the living spaces. The chef's kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, an oversized island with prep sink, generous workspace, and views of the courtyard. The home features two ensuite bedrooms (one downstairs, one upstairs) while a thoughtfully integrated private suite enhances its versatility. Featuring a first-floor living room with a wet bar and powder room, plus a spacious bedroom with a full bath above, this unique space is connected through a dramatic gallery overlooking the courtyard. Ideal as a luxurious primary retreat, guest accommodations, a home office, creative studio, or multigenerational living, it offers privacy while remaining an integral part of the home's cohesive design. Above, the private rooftop terrace provides a spectacular setting for entertaining or unwinding while enjoying Mississippi River views. Behind custom wood gates, the private courtyard creates a tranquil outdoor retreat, while secure off-street parking—a rare Bywater amenity—adds everyday convenience. Located just blocks from Crescent Park, the Mississippi River, neighborhood cafés, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and live music, this remarkable home offers exceptional architecture & timeless craftsmanship.
