Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the French Quarter's most architecturally distinctive buildings. Located at 534-536 Bienville Street, this four-story landmark was designed by architect Jordan McKenzie and constructed circa 1910 as a celebrated example of early 20th-century Austrian Secessionist design. The building is further distinguished by its "French Quarter Elves," three original concrete gnome figures that have graced the facade beneath the second-floor windows for over a century. Zoned VCC-2 for commercial or residential use. Unit #2 spans the entire 2nd floor, offering 1,616 square feet of beautifully appointed, character-rich space. Currently operating as owner's business, Spa Atlantis, the unit is configured for commercial use and retains the ability to revert to residential, offering remarkable flexibility for the next owner. The business is not included in the sale.

Wide-plank original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and tall windows set the tone throughout. Currently configured as a full spa suite, the second-floor features approximately four private treatment rooms, a dedicated locker and robe room, and a beautifully finished shower suite with lovely feature and finishes throughout. The layout is polished, efficient, and well-suited for conversion to professional offices, creative studio space, or a stunning private residence. Whether you are an owner-operator seeking a turnkey space, an investor or buyer with a vision for residential conversion, this space offers an extraordinary canvas in one of New Orleans' most coveted neighborhoods.

Unit #1 (first floor, 1,368 SF) is also available at $645,000, or both units may be purchased together for $1,140,000. See other listings for further details.
