According to local historical accounts, this house is one of three similar homes built for Smith Bakery managers in the early 1900s. The other two of the these homes are directly west of 1152. Of the three, it is the only home that remains very similar to its original interior and exterior state. The home is a 2 bed / 1 bath with two common rooms, a kitchen in the back of the home, and a laundry / pantry area near the kitchen. It has a newly reconstructed back deck, rear parking pad, and plenty of green space in the backyard for gardening or outdoor entertaining. The driveway has been a shared driveway for many years and remains this way today. Both homes respect the shared driveway and parking is available for both homes in the rear of each respective home. There is a storage area in the rear of the home with exterior access. The home has a spacious front porch with ceiling fans and lighting. This home has great opportunities for expansion if desired. The attic can be finished and the rear of the home could certainly be expanded to accommodate a larger kitchen and deck area. Then again, the home is perfectly suited for midtown living just as it is. This home has central AC, a gas furnace, and an electric water heater. The home has been updated with sheetrock walls, modern electrical, and has modern mechanicals. Both chimneys still exist along with the fireplaces and mantels (currently non-functioning). The window blinds are to remain with the home. 1152 New Saint Francis is within walking distance of downtown restaurants and events, including, of course, Mardi Gras festivities. The home is priced at $179,900 to reflect the street’s up and coming potential and its historic nature. 1152 New Saint Francis is eligible for historic plaque application.
