Historic McDonoghville Opportunity – Double Lot with Flexible Purchase Options
Located in the heart of the historic McDonoghville neighborhood in Old Gretna, 819 Madison Street presents a rare opportunity for investors, builders, or visionaries to restore and reimagine a property full of potential.
The offering includes the existing home situated on a 46.8’ x 160’ lot, along with Lot 10 next door, together totaling an expansive 93' x 160’. The home is in need of a full renovation, providing the perfect canvas to create a standout residence that reflects the charm and heritage of the area.
