Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler in This Charming Vieux Carre Home

It’s difficult to find an area more steeped in history — and more fun at the same time — than the Vieux Carre (or you know, French Quarter) of New Orleans.

Which is why we fairly screamed when we saw this absolute charmer of a home at the edge of the quarter, just a couple blocks from Rampart Street. In other words, close enough to enjoy the Vieux Carre entertainment, but far enough away that you can still describe the home as having a tranquil setting.

This 1897 3-bay Victorian on Dauphine Street boasts four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths in about 3,100 square feet of living space.

Gloriously maintained and obviously loved living space, we might add.

Come see more of this amazing home on SecondShelters.com.

Thank you, Bethany, for sharing two beautifully historic American houses with us today, this picturesque New Orleans Vieux Carre shotgun home, with rooms arranged en-enfilade, and the delightful East Dallas Queen Anne home above.
