About this home
This picturesque Quarter single-family home is newer than older. It has basically been remade, yet it retains the environment and spirit of the hundred-year-old-plus home that it is. All appliances are Energy Star. There is insulation both under the house and in the third floor and attic. There are 5 working gas fireplaces. The chimneys have been sealed above and below. There are four recently installed central systems 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 tons. The ducts have been changed.
There is a central dehumidifier for the house. The water heater is tankless. The electrical system has been rewired. The many windows have been replaced to code and with energy-saving Magnetite. The kitchen has been totally renovated and features a Viking stove. The many closets throughout the house were made and installed by Louisiana Closets. A full bar with an icemaker, a wine refrigerator, and a sink graces the long hallway between the double parlors and the half-bath.
On the second floor, each bedroom features excellent closet space. A large hall closet contains the washer and dryer with folding space in between. The two bedrooms toward the back stairway and bathroom are smaller with beautiful and sound-proofed windows. One of the larger bedrooms toward the front has a fireplace and a bay window overlooking Royal Street leading into the Quarter. The large primary bedroom on the front of the house opens to the exterior second-floor balcony. The upper and lower balconies have been waterproofed. There are chandeliers in every room.
The property features an electric carport gate and a gas grill connection. Additionally, it is equipped with a burglar alarm system, courtesy of Simply Safe.
