504 Adams St Apartments

Watch the world go by from the porch of this two bed + sunlit bonus room (for office, yoga, breakfast nook, crib) one bath second floor, spacious 1200 sq foot unit right off St Charles Avenue 1/2 block to Streetcar. Walk to the River, Audubon Park, The Fly or the Universities. This is a recently refreshed unfurnished 1930’s arts and crafts style home with independent bedrooms (not a shotgun) central heat and air + ceiling fans. Open flow living room/dining room is comfortable and spacious. Good closets. Newly repainted. Access to the second floor unit is up a set of stairs. A rare sliver by the river apartment in a well maintained 1930's double with an owner who lives on site in the lower unit (that means invested in the building maintenance!) A great base from which to experience all that is New Orleans. You will find friendly, helpful neighbors. It is a short two blocks from the house to grab a coffee at Starbucks or the nearby PJ’s coffee. Explore Maple street further to sample the vegan dishes at Kindred, brunch at Maple Street café or Satsuma, dine at Jamila’s Tunisian restaurant or the Chill Out Thai, or explore many other possible shopping and eating options on Maple. Also, you will be around the corner from classic NOLA spots near St Charles and Carrollton -- Cooter Brown's, the Daquiri Shop and Camelia Grill. You'll also be walking distance -- or a short streetcar ride up Carrolton -- to Oak Street and the historic Maple Leaf Bar, the Oak wine bar, Vino, Sally’s seafood, Breads on Oak (an award-winning vegan bakery), Jaque Imos, a new Jamaican restaurant, and Aujun Cajun, Blue Cypress books among other Oak Street hotspots. On your stroll back from Oak, turn the corner onto Carrolton and make groceries at Cansecos. Head the other direction on Carrolton to find Lebanon's, famous barbecue and real ingredient daquiris at Bourre, or indulge in the Latin food options. Listen to some music in the courtyard of Boure or Carolton Station. And on your way home pick up your library books on Carolton at Nyx. If you crave a little outdoor time, it is also an easy walk to picnic at the Fly, hang out at Audubon Park, or walk the River levees. If you are feeling studious and want to research something in the archives you can walk to the Universities -- Loyola and Tulane. On high ground -- 6.5 feet above sea level, plus first floor is another 4 feet up, and the available unit is actually on the second floor -- no flooding here during Katrina. Walking distance to the Army Corps HQ and the levees. Rental Process: Reply to this email to set up an appointment to view the house. In your note, be sure to send your phone number and tell me a little about you. First screening is by phone. Next step, I show you the place. Then, if we both think it’s a fit, a credit check and you sign a lease and send deposit. I am the owner and live in the first floor unit. I am interested in long-term tenants who are mature professionals. The previous tenant was here 5 years and we had a friendly helpful way of being on the same property -- eg pick up each others packages when one or the other is away --- kind, basic helpfulness that was mutual and helped make this an extra pleasant place to live.
