Property Description
What an architectural beauty -- just two blocks from St. Charles Avenue and a five minute walk to Audubon Park! This Victorian side hall cottage was built around 1891 on part of a tract of land which was a sugar plantation of Etienne de Bore -- the first mayor of New Orleans. As you enter this gem -- filled with natural light, notice the decorative gingerbread, angel wing arches, carved posts, bannisters and stained glass upper windows on the front facade. The present owners purchased the home in the early 80s and through a renovation, careful attention was placed on restoring millwork including the "bulls eye" medallions on the interior doors and windows, plaster ceiling medallions, the cove ceiling in the Living Room and custom crown molding that accentuates the 12 foot ceilings. An oversized blue stone terrace invites you to outside entertaining amid lush plantings, privacy fencing and inground sprinkler system. The home is situated on a corner lot with driveway parking for two cars that is accessed on Eleonore Street. Historic easement to grant the facade to the Preservation Resource Center.
