House overview

Large lot with ability to build another structure for multi family or additional living areas. Breathtaking Greek Revival Center-Hall home, with room to expand. Originally constructed in 1859. This architectural masterpiece is a true testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Creole New Orleans.

Situated in the heart of the historic Treme neighborhood, the house features a grand, wide staircase leading to an oversized covered porch with floor-to-ceiling windows, working louvered shutters, and boxed columns.

The property consists of a single-family unit with an attached ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), totaling 4 beds/ 4.5 baths, approximately 4,500 square feet. The main floor, currently the owner's unit, consists of 2 beds/ 2.5 baths.

Renovation and updates

The renovation, completed in 2022, retains much of the original floor plan, many original architectural details, including 13.5' ceilings, hardwood floors sealed with Bona Craft oil (very durable), mantels, doors and transoms.

Modern updates include all-new plumbing, new electrical, a reinforced foundation, a new roof (2022), recessed lighting, two very efficient Bosch central HVAC systems, an updated kitchen with a mix of vintage and custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large pass-through window.

A driveway leads to off-street parking for 6+ cars, and a rear oversized lot holds potential for further development. The ground level affords plenty of room for storage in the 3,000 square feet unfinished basement.

Located on high ground (Flood Zone X) in Esplanade Ridge, near Bayou Road, and midway between the French Quarter and City Park, this home is surrounded by numerous amenities - iconic restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment venues, and Whole Foods.
