Chartres 1883 spans three picturesque parcels at the corner of Chartres Street and Montegut Street in the heart of New Orleans’ enchanting and bohemian Bywater neighborhood. At the forefront, the 3-story Main House—a lovingly restored former feed store from the late 1800s—stands as a proud testament to the area’s rich history. Just across the serene courtyard, the Carriage House is tucked away, offering an additional 2 bedroom private retreat that gazes toward Chartres Street. (The carriage house must be booked separately) Stretching gracefully between the two homes lies an expansive grass yard also know as “The Garden” which can be used to for outdoor yoga (mats provided); to host private events (for an additional fee); or to just let your kids run around (priceless!) The Garden at Chartres is accessible from both houses as well as Montegut Street - via a gated driveway - creating a seamless connection to the vibrant surroundings. A setting rich in charm and character, Chartres 1883 invites you to discover its story.
