1228 Pine St, New Orleans, LA 70118

1228 Pine Street is the Uptown compound that checks every box—character, income potential, and easy living just minutes from Tulane, Loyola, Audubon Park, and the St. Charles streetcar. Set on a classic 44' × 120' lot with a deep front porch and a fenced backyard, the property blends early-20th-century charm (tall windows, original wood floors, plantation shutters) with practical upgrades like multiple central HVAC zones and off-street parking. The main structure is currently configured as an unconventional duplex—ideal for an owner + tenant setup or multi-generational living—but the layout also lends itself to a quick reunification into a spacious single-family residence. Easy conversion to a 2,374-sf 4-bed/3-bath single in short order, giving you two strong paths: keep the income or claim the whole house. Behind the main residence, a separate in-law/guest cottage (751 sf) adds serious versatility for guests, a studio, or additional rental revenue that averages around $24,000 a year. Altogether you’re working with approximately 3,125 sf across five bedrooms and five baths. Current rental income is generating $50,000 this year. One fair way to comp this property is to apply fair comps to the front home which is around $1,000,000 and add the cost to build a small home in back, which would be around $350,000 with a sell value of $400,000. The only good, grades 1 -12, free public school in all of New Orleans, Willow Elementary 1 block away and Willow High is a bike ride for the kids. No commute or car pool line for 12 years = value baby! A “lovely traditional home with many architectural details,” highlighting that welcoming porch, abundant natural light and a landscaped yard and a home not even close to flooding in Katrina. Front screens built to be easily removed to show off those big columns and flair. Rebuilt, solid, large, well ventilated shed can be home to your portable generator and you’ll never have to evacuate from any storm. What you’ll love day-to-day • Two-way win: keep the duplex for income or convert to a single—your choice. • Detached guest cottage for visitors, work, or rental—separate and private. • Off-street driveway parking and a fenced yard for easy living and pets. • Prime Uptown/Audubon location near universities, parks, cafés, and the streetcar. In short: a charismatic Uptown residence with genuine flexibility and multiple income/lifestyle plays—without sacrificing the porch-swing moments that make Pine Street special.
