Located on beautiful Walnut Street, directly across from Audubon Park, and half a block from the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar; this custom home offers its next owner a truly unique set of opportunities! Originally built as a large, 3-4 bedroom, upscale primary residence on the upper floors, with an oversized 3-bedroom 1st floor apartment for family or rental income.
Through the years, it was converted to accommodate a growing family by combining the two units into one grand home with over 6,400 sqft living as it is today, while thoughtfully maintaining the option to restore the two unit design with minimal effort or expense.
This one of a kind property was built to withstand the test of time, using only the highest standard of materials and systems throughout, and has been upgraded by its current owner with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship. Stand-out features include parking for 6 with two covered spaces, a stunning 3-story winding staircase, vintage elevator, and a true chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, solid walnut cabinetry, tons of counter space, and a giant center island. Formal and informal spaces on every level, plus dedicated utility rooms & abundant storage.
The backyard oasis boasts two rooftop terraces with misting systems, custom pool, hot tub, fresh landscaping, and a pool house with full bath and dry sauna. A real “must-see” to appreciate everything that makes this property such a special offering!
