Property Description
Some homes are just addresses. This one is an opportunity.
Set directly across the street from the legendary Fair Grounds Race Course — home to the world-renowned New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival — A rare convergence of artful design, income-generating potential, and the very best of New Orleans living. Whether you're searching for a primary residence where the home works as hard as you do, a curated seasonal retreat, or a turnkey investment property in one of the city's most coveted festival corridors, this property delivers on every level.
Originally built in the early 1900's as a classic New Orleans shotgun double, this fully reimagined single-family home has been transformed through a comprehensive renovation that honors its historic roots while meeting the demands of modern luxury living. Step inside and immediately feel the difference — original hardwood floors run beneath soaring new ceilings, new sheetrock frames every wall with precision, and custom millwork details throughout signal that no corner was cut.
The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen unlike any other in the neighborhood — custom cabinetry, luxury stainless steel appliances, and a professional gas stove create a space that is as functional as it is stunning. Entertaining here is effortless.
Each of the three full bathrooms has been appointed with designer ceramic tile, one with a deep soaker tub in the primary ensuite, and all have walk-in showers — offering spa-caliber comfort that guests and owners alike will never want to leave. The primary suite is its own world, anchored by a breathtaking glass solarium — a sun-drenched retreat that blurs the boundary between indoors and the lush, tropical outdoors.
Step outside and discover a property that truly lives large. A wraparound wooden deck flows into an expansive back lounge, perfect for hosting, unwinding, or watching the palms sway. A newly installed outdoor shower sits nestled within a private palm tree oasis, making every evening feel like a luxury resort moment. Off-street gated parking — secured by a custom-crafted wrought iron fence and gate, locally forged by celebrated New Orleans artisan Rion Byrd — adds a one-of-a-kind architectural detail that is as beautiful as it is functional. A newly built oversized custom storage structure completes the outdoor footprint.
Then there's the income suite. A private, separately accessed 1-bedroom/1-bathroom unit has historically generated over $3,000 per month in short-term rental revenue — a number that speaks for itself during Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras, and the city's year-round event calendar. For the savvy buyer, this is not just a home — it is a wealth-building asset dressed in impeccable design.
The location is a lifestyle unto itself. A dedicated bike lane runs directly in front of the home, making City Park, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and Bayou St. John effortlessly accessible. World-class dining, beloved coffee shops, and premier grocery options including Rouses and Whole Foods are minutes away. And in just five minutes, the magic of the French Quarter, the French Market, Jackson Square, and St. Louis Cathedral await.
This address is not just a home for sale — it is New Orleans at its absolute finest, offered to the buyer bold enough to seize it. Renovations are wrapping up quickly and should have completion by mid-June or before.
