Welcome to my former home on Columbus Street in New Orleans. Although it doesn't have near as much history in living years as the Chatette, 2617 Columbus Street was home to me for more than 50% of my soon to be 55 years! 2617 Columbus Street became my first house and my home back in 1980. I was able to assume the mortgage with the help of my parents and my Grandma (of Nannie and Papa fame)! This was a big deal for a 25 year old single-woman who didn't make a lot of money as a social worker. Over the years, the apartment was shared and sometimes rented by friends and family. Later, it became my social work private practice office and eventually my home after the storm. Although the apartment is now rented...the big house is still vacant and we are going to come down on the price to $1000/month. It is a lot of house for the money, with a yard that has incredible potential in the hands of the right person.
2617 Columbus Street-A spacious, newly renovated camel-back, 2-3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, huge fully furnished kitchen, hard-wood/tile floors, ceiling fans, AC/heating combo units, laundry room with a washer and dryer, large fenced in back yard and ample off-street parking. One half block off of Broad Street on the Fairgrounds side. Quiet and private. Near the Broad Street and Esplanade Bus Lines. One mile from the French Quarter and walking distance of City Park and Bayou St. John. $1000/month, one month's security deposit and a one year lease.
