Property Description
The historic Royal Pharmacy, an iconic fixture of the New Orleans French Quarter for decades. This remarkable property, built in 1831, is a rare gem boasting a prime location wrapping the corner of Royal Street and Ursulines Avenue, offering excellent street visibility to bustling foot traffic. This property served as a beloved pharmacy for an impressive 100 years and has been in the current owner's family for the last 90 years, having been acquired in the 1930s during the Great Depression. Upon entering, you'll step back in time with a look at the lovely marble soda fountain from Italy, added in the 1940s. The first floor features original tin ceilings and a large commercial space with additional storage and office spaces in the back. One of which was historically used by a doctor's office, and after visits, patients would walk to the front and fill their prescriptions in the pharmacy. The second floor offers a breathtaking and expansive residential unit spanning the entire floor. This level boasts large living areas, original stucco walls, 13-foot ceilings, and two full baths. Four sets of French doors open to a gorgeous view, offering an unparalleled living experience. The residential portion has been partially updated while maintaining the integrity of the original culture, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, custom features, and finishes throughout. The third floor provides an additional residential space with a variety of uses, whether as a bedroom, office or entertainment room, and includes access to the roof. A pool table is to remain. This property provides the rare and coveted opportunity to own a quintessential piece of history in the French Quarter. It combines historic charm with modern potential, perfect for an investor or a business owner looking to establish a unique presence in New Orleans.
