Property Description
Grand Uptown living meets timeless architectural character in the heart of the coveted Audubon neighborhood. Offering approximately 5,028 square feet, this historic property blends classic New Orleans charm with exceptional versatility. Currently configured as a duplex, it can continue as an income-producing property, accommodate multi-generational living, or be thoughtfully converted into a magnificent single-family residence.
Original details shine throughout, including soaring ceilings, beautifully restored hardwood floors on the main level, original pocket doors, transom windows, fireplace mantels, a charming butler’s pantry with built-in cabinetry and wine storage, and tall windows that fill the home with natural light.
The first-floor unit offers approximately 1,985 square feet with formal living and dining rooms, an updated kitchen with breakfast area, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a spacious storage room off the primary bedroom. Recent improvements include updated electrical wiring, replaced plumbing extending to the street, and a reconstructed north exterior wall with Hardie siding.
Spanning the second and third floors, the upper unit offers approximately 3,043 square feet with a beautifully renovated kitchen, formal dining room, sunroom with balcony access, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a bonus room, and expansive converted attic space. Completed updates complement the home’s historic character, while several areas remain ready for restoration and enhancement. This creates an ideal opportunity for buyers who appreciate classic architecture and wish to continue restoring this remarkable home.
The property also includes a detached garage and basement laundry area.
