Property Description

Step onto the front porch and you can almost hear the echoes of laughter, music, and conversations that have filled this home for for 38 years. Listed on the National Historic Register, it carries with it a legacy of craftsmanship and attention to every detail that today’s builders simply can’t replicate. Inside, the warmth of original hardwood floors welcomes you, framed by wide baseboards and crowned with 12-inch molding that rises to 10-foot ceilings. Sunlight filters through original leaded-glass windows, dancing across woodwork that tells the story of true artistry. Transoms above the doors, custom interior shutters throughout, and a shotgun style hallway lined with a built-in bookcase are quiet reminders of the attention to detail poured into every inch of this home. Even the unique, “odd” doors hold whispers of its 1930s past.Two spacious living areas span the front of the home, welcoming guests to sit and stay for a while. Bedrooms are well apportioned with natural light highlighting every detail. The kitchen blends history with modern function—stainless appliances, a triple sink, and a butcher-block prep island, complemented by both a pantry and butler’s pantry. True to it’s time, this amazing home provides abundant storage, unique built-ins throughout, and cedar lined closets. The cozy rear porch opens to a private yard, while the side courtyard invites quiet coffee mornings or evening conversations under the stars. Off the detached carport, French doors lead to a 26x24 storeroom—once an office and storage space, but easily reimagined into a garage apartment, bonus room, or creative retreat.This isn’t just a house, it is an easily recognized home that has been a gathering place of the Garden District — it is a living story of fond memories and echoes of history, waiting for its next chapter to be written.
