3949 Chestnut St, New Orleans, LA 70115

This may be one of those houses that you have driven by many times and always wondered about. The property has been in the same family since 1962. The original home is a classic 3 bay cottage on an oversized corner lot shaded by a beautiful live oak tree which is registered with The Live Oak Society. An addition was made to the rear of the home in the 1950's. The main part of the house sits towards the middle of the property with two sizable side yards that have orange, grapefruit, kumquat, pomegranate and other fruit trees. In the rear yard, is the driveway, a storage shed and a small patio. What a wonderful opportunity to renovate this home on a 75' x 127.6' corner lot. Work within the current footprint or add on. So many possibilities to make this a showcase. The entrance to the home is on the left side of the house which the oak tree shades. The entrance foyer leads to the spacious living room with 3 floor to ceiling windows, a decorative fireplace and bookcases. The formal dining room also with a decorative fireplace is off of the hall. The kitchen opens to the right side yard. There is a utility closet with washer dryer hookups in the kitchen. The primary bedroom has an attached bath with a walk-in shower. Also towards the front of the home is the second bedroom. Towards the rear is a big den with cathedral ceiling and bookcases. It opens to the rear yard. Also towards the rear of the home are three bedrooms, one bath and a kitchen with a washer and dryer. At times, the rear of the home has been used as a rental. That was accomplished by simply locking an interior door. There are two gas and electric meters in place. There is brick driveway off of Constantinople which has an electric gate. The roof is about 2years old. The two Dakin AC systems are about 4 years old. So much potential in a sought after Uptown location with great walkability. Make this home your own. Opportunities like this don't come up often. This is a succession sale.
