Exceptional Garden District home, ideally situated one block from St. Charles Avenue and adjacent to McDonogh Park. Originally built in 1858 and extensively renovated in 2012 by renowned architect Barry Fox, this impressive home combines historic architectural details with the space, comfort, and amenities of modern living. Soaring 12+ foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, marble mantels, ornate ceiling medallions, exquisite chandeliers, and a graceful curved staircase are among its many features. The well-designed floor plan offers generous living and entertaining spaces, abundant natural light, and exceptional storage. Spacious formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a large family room, breakfast room, and adjoining custom bar. The well-appointed kitchen features extensive cabinets, generous counter space, recently updated premium appliances, and an oversized pantry. A powder room, mudroom, and additional full bath off the garage complete the first floor.
