gorgeous victorian double home complete with guest house
Gorgeous reinterpretation of a late 1800s Victorian double; now a comfortable single-family home with a flexible layout AND a detached guest house with full kitchen and bath. Located on an incredible block, just outside of the Historic French Quarter in the Faubourg Marigny, every convenience and attraction are only minutes away in every direction. Painstakingly renovated in 2017, all major systems have been modernized, while at the same time preserving and restoring the original architectural detail and charm throughout; including heart pine floors, 12' ceilings, original windows, doors & transoms, plaster medallions, and seven *working* gas fireplaces. The flexible floorplan features comfortable and spacious living and dining areas, a generous kitchen with stone-topped island & plentiful storage, and the option of either two bedroom suites + a cozy library with built-in bookshelves and ladder - OR three separate beds in the main house - PLUS an additional bed/bath and laundry in the guest house. The main structure also offers yet another configuration with a secondary entrance and kitchenette just off the primary bedroom; allowing the front of the house to be sectioned off, essentially creating an owners' suite + two additional units for visiting family, friends, or even rental potential. Additional stand-out features include a private courtyard, spa-like primary bath with steam shower, antique lighting fixtures, hand-painted murals, and operational shutters on every window and door; allowing for true lock & leave convenience. Furnishings may be negotiable with some exclusions. Truly a must-see gem!
