An extraordinary piece of New Orleans history, beautifully restored for its next chapter.

Throughout, the restoration reflects tremendous attention to detail and a deep respect for the building’s architectural heritage.



The property’s possibilities extend well beyond the main residence. Approximately 1,212 square feet of first floor Art Gallary on "Artist Row"or retail space establishes a compelling presence on Julia Street, while two separate luxury apartments provide additional flexibility: a spacious 1,241 square foot residence with two bedrooms and one full and one half baths, plus a separate three bedroom, one bath residence. An elegant central courtyard offers an intimate outdoor retreat, bringing a welcome sense of calm to this dynamic downtown setting.



The unexpected luxury is the independence these spaces provide.

Valuable CBD 5 zoning further enhances the possibilities for residential, commercial and retail uses, subject to applicable approvals.



Here, the city becomes an extension of home.

Cultural discoveries are equally accessible, with The National WWII Museum and Ogden Museum of Southern Art nearby, along with The Sazerac House and the Southern Food & Beverage Museum within the surrounding downtown area. Positioned between the French Quarter and the Garden District, this exceptionally walkable address places art, dining, history and daily discovery at the center of life.


Architecturally significant, exquisitely restored and remarkably adaptable, 620 Julia Street offers the opportunity to own a distinguished part of New Orleans while shaping an extraordinary future within it.
