Charming “Tree House” in the Heart of Old Mandeville!
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home just off the second block of Girod and Jefferson. Zoned both residential and commercial, this gem offers incredible flexibility — for a home, office, studio, or boutique-style business!
This elevated “tree house” has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with a long list of upgrades and features (see attached)! From custom finishes to structural reinforcements, no detail was overlooked.
In 2022, full-scale renovation of the home with both structural and cosmetic upgrades:
House Raised: The entire home (except the back porch) was elevated, providing 8 feet of clearance from the slab. The main structure is now supported by steel I-beams anchored to concrete pillars.
Full Rewire & Re-plumb: The entire house has been rewired and re-plumbed with modern systems.
Energy Efficiency: Closed-cell spray foam insulation under the house, plus all-new windows and doors, create excellent temperature retention.
Fire Safety: The covered parking area beneath the house is finished with ¾” fire rock as a protective measure against potential vehicle fires.
Custom Kitchen: Features a fully redesigned layout with hand-finished red oak butcher block countertops and modern appliance hookups.
Updated Bathrooms: Both bathrooms have been completely remodeled with updated fixtures and finishes.
Original Floors & Custom Trim: The original heart pine floors have been beautifully refinished. Door frames were custom-milled from reclaimed heart pine sourced from the original home.
Large electric tankless water heater
All-new gas lines throughout the home
Downstairs plumbing and electrical systems are prepped for future expansion, including a sewer tie-in access point
This home is a rare blend of original character and modern efficiency, thoughtfully rebuilt for long-term comfort and peace of mind.
