5 beds | 3.2 baths | 3400 sqft
Property Description
Half a block off the Mardi Gras parade route, 1525-27 Melpomene is one wall away from becoming one of the Lower Garden District's grand single family homes. Built as a Victorian side-by-side double, renovated in 2021 and refined again in 2025, the house is already prepared for the conversion: the structural support beam is installed, so joining the two sides means removing a single wall.
Joined, it offers approximately 3,200 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. The first floor becomes a true entertaining floor: a 22-foot grand living room, an oversized foyer, a second living room, two dining rooms, and two kitchens, one for everyday living and one ready to work as a catering or prep kitchen. Upstairs, the primary suite offers an en suite spa bath, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony, alongside four more bedrooms, two additional full baths, and a dedicated laundry room.
The original character carries through both sides: tall ceilings, hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fireplaces with their original tile. Natural light pours in from every direction, and gas appliances and tankless water heaters handle the everyday comforts.
Four private balconies look out over Melpomene. Out back, easy-care landscaping surrounds a covered outdoor entertaining area and an oversized storage shed. Off-street parking fits up to three cars, and a programmable LED uplighting system lights the facade for any occasion, holiday, or mood. A majestic crepe myrtle frames it all.
Not ready to take down the wall yet? Today it lives as a double, with an owner's side and a short-term rental side, so you can enjoy one side and earn on the other until you're ready to open it up. Flood Zone X. Buyer to verify permitting and conversion requirements.
