What a LOCATION. And what an OPPORTUNITY for someone to be the new owner of a property situated so near a major nerve center of New Orleans, the intersection of Canal & Carrollton. And what's more, it's everything you want in an original old New Orleans home. An old historic property with a front porch for rocking chairs. A time period correct, Arts & Crafts facade. A length of space for private off-street parking, easily accommodating two cars stacked. And, a private, fence-enclosed, palm-shaded, lush, rear courtyard. At a little over 1000 sq. ft., this is the great starter home, or the perfect house for someone downsizing, a great condo alternative, or perhaps the coveted weekend city getaway. Who doesn't wish for a pied-à-terre in the middle of the city? Inside is largely updated, the kitchen having beautiful marble counters and stainless appliances. Beautiful wood floors run throughout the house, and 12 feet high above is a beautiful coffered ceiling. There are lots of windows, with the front ones having old stained glass and decorative accents. Just one bedroom, ...but it's HUGE, and bright, and airy, with windows, skylights, and a unique bay window looking out into the rear courtyard. This big bedroom offers two closets off to the side, which could be large enough to be converted into another room, such as an office, nursery, craft room, sewing room, art room, etc. All said being good so far, this property will need its new owner to bring some sweat equity to it. The foundation will need work, no ifs, ands, or buts. There is deterioration in siding and paint that will need assessment and remedy. But, all in all, a GREAT house in a FANTASTIC location, that needs some TLC. Grab this opportunity while you can!
