Comprised of an architecturally significant main house and detached private guest quarters joined together by a quaint french quarter style courtyard, this unique property offers two nice bedrooms, and two generous full baths, plus a powder room for guests. The cozy living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a modern kitchen with plentiful cabinet storage and updated appliances; great for everyday living and entertaining alike. Packed with beautiful architectural details throughout, including high ceilings, original heart pine floors, trim and mouldings, and an exposed brick fireplace. Many recent upgrades include 2024 full HVAC system replacement in the main house, new slate roof over the front porch, low maintenance composite decking, new privacy fencing, and a complete build-out of the guest quarters with the addition of a spa-like bath and ductless AC. Truly a one-of-a-kind jewel box property in one of New Orleans’ most coveted neighborhoods, walkable to the gates of Jazz Fest and numerous restaurants, wine shops, and grocery stores along historic Esplanade Avenue.
