This split-level, camelback double is an ideal specimen of charming New Orleans architecture. My husband and I purchased it almost 5 years ago. It has been a positive contributor to our investment inventory which is primarily located in Gentilly. I call Gentilly the best kept secret, if you are looking for excellent value on the dollar with quality home design and construction as well as easy access to the rest of the city, this is the neighborhood for you! With it's traditional camelback layout, this property is incredibly spacious. It has approximately 2700 s.f. of premium living space as well as an additional 1200 s.f. of finished, painted, and air conditioned basement space (that could actually be driven into from the driveway), 4 large bedrooms, study/nursery, 4 full bathrooms, great closet space, interior laundry, lots of natural light, screened in porches, off street parking, and the amenities go on and on (3900 s.f. total!). It has old-school craftsmanship and materials throughout, including wood and tile floors, plaster walls, high ceilings, original unpainted millwork, trim moldings and hardware, plus some upgrades like ceiling fans, dishwasher, and more. The front doors have opening “side-lights” as well as fan windows above them. There is a gorgeous old Live Oak tree out front and a Water Oak on the south side providing all day shade. The back has two separately fenced-in yards. We have repainted every room and made improvements to one side of the property and it is fresh and beautiful. The other side is not pristine, but very livable and currently occupied, since it is a bit larger it would be considered the “owners unit”. The roof is in good shape with very nice attic venting which improves energy efficiency, and the trees have been trimmed. There are beautiful copper gutters that have been expertly installed and the siding is the nice thin weatherboards. It does need some screen work at a few of the windows and the exterior has not been painted recently, but is in decent shape. We are open to making further improvements as part of the sale or handing this treasure over as is. We plan to only have this property on the market for a short time. Because this house is such a strong rental, we do not need to sell it. However, as an owner occupied residence there is the potential to have most of your mortgage covered by the incoming rent. Please come see this incredible opportunity of a dream home for yourself. There are no other houses on the market that I have found with this much square footage, in such nice shape, even close to this price range.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
