1407 Louisiana Avenue

This stately Victorian is being restored to the grand single family home it once was. Located on the edge of the Garden District, it is convenient to St. Charles Avenue, Fresh Market and strolling distance to all that Magazine Street has to offer. The double entrance doors lead to a foyer with stained glass windows and beautiful arched pocket doors into the formal living spaces with 12 ft. seamless cove ceilings with picture molding reveal, gleaming wood floors and full length windows. The dining room has a wall of bay windows that are framed by lovely corner built-in glass front cabinets. The open floor plan of the first floor has a focal point of connection where 3 working fireplaces add warmth to these wonderful entertaining spaces. Jeff Pouree medallions are in several rooms. The kitchen has been opened up to stretch across the entire back of the house to provide room for eating in or a cozy den area. Upstairs offers endless opportunities for design and function to your needs. The primary bedroom is at the front of the house and opens to a deep balcony looking out on the large beautiful Live Oaks that line Louisiana Avenue. There are 3 more bedrooms and 2 baths. The back yard has lovely mature landscaping enhancing an enormous outdoor entertaining area, and there is plenty of room for a pool. At the back of the property, you will find an adorable guesthouse that has an inviting “rocking” porch across the front. It is perfect for Mardi Gras guests. Additionally, there is gated off street parking for 3+ cars and a workshop on the side of the house. Many of the basic improvements have been completed. This property truly offers a unique opportunity to blend Southern architectural charm with your personal choice of design and modern finishes.
