Description

This Neoclassical Revival camelback double is an architectural gem meticulously preserved through time. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and original millwork define the space, exuding elegance. This is further enhanced by stunning wood floors and meticulously preserved features like original mantles, double sash windows, and solid plaster walls. Located just three blocks from lively Freret Street, you'll enjoy easy access to renowned restaurants, local coffee shops, vibrant festivals, and neighborhood markets. The home welcomes you with traditional double parlors, which include spacious living and dining rooms. These flow seamlessly into large laundry rooms and rear kitchens that open onto a screened-in porch or covered deck. This leads to a delightful rear yard, perfect for outdoor entertaining or peaceful relaxation, with convenient access to the garage and workshop. Upstairs, each unit features two independent bedrooms and full bathrooms with classic clawfoot tubs. The owner's unit includes a finished attic, currently used as an office or den with a half bathroom. The layout is wonderfully flexible with internal door access, easily converting the owner's side to a three bedroom unit and the second unit to a one bedroom. This truly offers incredible potential! The expansive 45-foot wide by 111-foot long lot is a major asset, featuring a long driveway with room for multiple cars, trailers, boats, or even an RV. This leads to a dedicated garage and workshop, providing ample space for storage or creative endeavors. Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable home!
