The French Quarter and Central Business District are just a 10-minute drive away. There is a bus stop and the street car (tro
lly) line within walking distance (5 minutes) which runs to both of these destinations. It is in a residential neighborhood and is only a 5-minute walk to City Park and The New Orleans Museum of Art. The home is a beautiful 2-story stucco structure with a red Spanish tile roof. It is architecturally unique and interesting with its arched doorways and doors. The original structure is intact with very few changes to the original design. There are original wood floors and ceramic tiles which have been beautifully restored. The long center hallway serves as the perfect photo gallery for Eliot's photos. The raised front porch is a wonderful place to just sit and do nothing. The front courtyard-style patio is beautifully landscaped with French Quarter style gas lanterns, an exquisite water fountain and an Italian-style pergula. It is a lovely place to sit relax after a day of exploring New Orleans. The corner lot offers a beautiful view of the peaceful surroundings of the neighborhood. Guests can enjoy City Park's Museum of Art, botanical gardens and new walking park. Laura and Eliot Kamenitz have owned and resided in their home since May 1995.

They both have professional careers; Laura is an Engineer for an international oil company and travels the world for her job. Eliot is a staff photographer for the New Orleans Advocate local newspaper. Ranger and Billy are the resident cats whose main jobs are to do nothing when they are not sleeping. They have a lot of responsibility which they take seriously. Come join us and enjoy the experience of being "At Home in New Orleans" with Laura and Eliot!
