This beautiful and historic Garden District home has been updated with modern amenities and finishes, while retaining all of the charm and character of the era in which it was built. Featuring the original wood floors and 12-foot ceilings throughout most of the home, two living areas, hand-crafted stacked crown molding, plantation shutters throughout, and deep front and rear porches. The spacious living room and dining room lead to an updated kitchen, and then to the large 20 x 22 family room with a gas and wood burning fireplace, and a guest bath. French doors open onto a deep and shaded rear porch with a view of the back yard. The entire second floor is a private primary suite with a super spacious 19 x 15 bedroom and another set of French doors opening onto a deep upper-level porch overlooking the rear yard. The primary suite also boasts a spa-style en suite bathroom featuring a jetted soaking tub, a custom-tiled walk-in shower, a dual vanity, and a custom mosaic tile floor. The other two bedrooms are located on the lower floor and share a jack-and-jill bath. One of the bedrooms boasts an attached private office with built-in desk, shelves and cabinets. This home is an absolute MUST SEE for anyone who enjoys and appreciates the spacious rooms, design and craftsmanship of a New Orelans-style Garden District home. New HVAC installed April 2025 and under warranty. NOTE: Seller will provide termite treatment and one-year termite contract upon Act of Sale.
