Fantastic, extraordinary double shotgun home with a striking camelback design is a true architectural gem located in the Riverbend neighborhood, The home was created/designed in 1997 by Franklin Adams, former professor in Tulane's School of Architecture. This one-of-a-kind residence is a harmonious blend of artistry, functionality, and breathtaking views.
The property consists of two shotgun homes connected by a central platform, each thoughtfully designed to offer its own unique charm. One of the homes (the main house) features a stunning camelback built from corrugated metal, housing a spacious upper-level primary bedroom. The bedroom includes an outdoor shower and two sliding walls that open to a private balcony, with views of the Mississippi River and Levee.
The second shotgun home was transformed into an inspiring art studio, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, loft area, and expansive open studio space. It’s an ideal retreat for creative endeavors or hosting guests.
Step outside, and you’ll find a large, lush lot to enjoy entertaining or quiet relaxation. A generous outdoor dining area provides a serene setting to enjoy meals while overlooking the expansive yard.
Included is off street parking and a garage.
