This grand residence built in 1915 by esteemed New Orleans architect Emile Weil sits under a canopy of centuries-old oaks on one of the most iconic streets in the world. Situated on an oversized lot 179’ deep, this elegant Mediterranean-style home noted in NEW ORLEANS ARCHITECTURE Vol VIII has been lovingly renovated, seamlessly blending its historic architectural features with modern amenities. The scale and design of this home afford private living and entertaining inside, and outside on the park-like grounds. The front entrance leads to a double foyer, off of which is a formal living room with private side entrance, and sunlit dining room and study overlooking the Avenue. The kitchen is completely renovated, has high end appliances (Wolf 8-burner range, SubZero fridge, Scottsman nugget ice machine, Quartzite countertops) with walk-in pantry a gourmet's dream. A few steps separate the large open family living/dining area with built-in banquette, with stunning views of the saltwater heated pool, lush backyard and guest house with private gated courtyard. Upstairs is the renovated primary suite, along with two large bedrooms each with updated bathrooms, and bonus room, an ideal separate home office, nursery, or private tv/sitting area. Combined with the third upstairs bedroom and third bath it becomes a perfect guest suite. Outside, a turfed putting green/dog paradise on the driveway side of the house is the ultimate luxury. An automated gated security fence opens from St. Charles to an elongated curving drive leading to parking for 4+ cars. Don't miss a rare opportunity to own this estate like home on the Avenue!
