Property Description
Known locally as the Barnes house and operated recently as GardenSong, a very
successful Bed and Breakfast property, 705 Washington was built in 1836 as a three-story Federal townhouse, with an expansion and remodeling in the 1890s, including a porch, indoor kitchen and Victorian elements. Further renovations in the 1960s brought it to its current style.
Located on one of the Garden District's most beautiful streets along an alley of crêpe myrtles abundantly decked with deep pink blooms in summer.
Bay windows, exquisite wallpaper, original fireplaces surrounded by Delft tile and rose-colored marble, and interior designer Earl Hart Miller's wood finishes create an elegant and gracious setting.
Ground floor primary suite adjoins a sitting room with gas fireplace and French doors opening to a secluded patio and garden arbor. Sitting room could be 6th bedroom.
Second floor front bedroom has wide balcony. Second floor Clark Gable
suite has two bedrooms. Third floor suite has great views of downtown. All bedrooms have ensuite baths,
Beautiful brick office with HVAC and water in the garden. Abundant storage and large pantry enhance the ease of living in this historic property.
Just two blocks from downtown shopping, art galleries and dining and an easy 10-minute walk to the Bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River where you will find music, festivals and nightlife.
Greenhouse and covered walkway from notable carport to your door are just two
remarkable features of 705 Washington Street. Off street parking for multiple cars. Bed and Breakfast financial records available. Furnishings may be purchased separately.
Clark Gable, a friend of the original owners, visited and slept here!
