1421 KENTUCKY Street The ghost of a Mississippi River boat captain—perhaps the original helmsman of this quirky abode—still lingers. Step aboard a world of eccentric charm and untamed possibility. Nestled in the beating heart of the Bywater, this two-story sanctuary floats just a stone’s throw from Crescent Park’s riverside reverie, a bohemian jaunt to the French Quarter’s jazz-soaked streets and a quick trip to the Central Business District. Here, time bends like a saxophone solo, and the house itself sings a shanty of history and whimsy. The main dwelling, at 2, 000-square-feet boasts a top floor with 12’ ceilings and antique heart-pine flooring in the living area and bedrooms, Downstairs has a giant recreation room, office with separate entrance, laundry, and sitting room. The vacant lot next door is a blank canvas—separable and ripe for a second home, a captain’s cottage, or a wild garden of magnolias and mischief. Imagine the possibilities: two homes, two stories, one legend. Built with the sturdy bones of a river man’s dream, this house invites you to captain your own adventure in New Orleans’ eclectic soul.
