Recently-built home designed and built by a local architect. The home was recently a featured project in Dwell and an AIA Louisiana award winner! Great light, a festive atmosphere, and double-height interconnected spaces make this project feel like a lively treehouse. A huge covered porch with a Corten screen occupy a full 1/2 of the ground floor to make a great entertaining space (and kid rompus zone). The inside is sleek and efficient, a great place for plants, pets, and living in general. This place is built to last- significantly more time, attention, and money was spent on the "bones" of this house than usual; from the deep pile foundations with a thick concrete cap, up to the spray foam and recycled-content cellulose insulation and high-efficiency HVAC and water heaters- this is a home that the architect built for his family, not as a flip or spec house. The live oaks that populate this section of Dorgenois make a majestic canopy, and lead the way to nearly Waldorf and Bricolage Schools, Southern Rep Theater, and the happenings on Bayou Road and Esplanade. I've loved living here over the past few years, and will be sad when it's time for me to move out. The 3 Bedroom / 2.5 Bath house is designed to be configured as either a single 3/2.5 unit - or divided into a generous 2 Bed/1.5 Bath house with a 1/1 Rentable suite. The Owners are moving out in DECEMBER (give or take), and currently reside in the house.
