1705 Burgundy Street

Description

This 1848 Marigny Triangle gem was expertly renovated to the studs in 2015, combining the original details and charm with a versatile floor plan more aligned with how we live today. The result is both grand and very comfortable (including a coveted attached garage). Double parlors, each with operable gas brick fireplaces, easily flow together and are bathed in natural light from the front windows. The corner dining space opens up to a huge cook's kitchen, with counter space for days, custom cabinetry incorporating original bargeboard from the home, and professional appliances. A main-floor primary bedroom suite opens to the courtyard and features a finely finished walk-in closet, leading to a 5-piece bath with a spacious shower and soaking tub. The renovation attached what was the neighboring cottage, transforming it into an incredibly versatile guest suite. The sellers use it as a gorgeous family/TV room with a fridge and wet bar, and accordion doors that open wide to the professionally landscaped courtyard. When guests are in town, they open what look like closet doors to pull down a comfy queen-sized murphy bed and the space returns to a guest suite. Upstairs is another versatile guest suite that's also used as an office, with an exposed twisted chimney and a functional skylight. When another bed is needed, a queen trundle pulls out from what looks like a large cabinet drawer. Storage is plentiful, with beautiful built-in, deep drawers tucked under stairs and throughout the upstairs office. There's plenty more storage in the oversized, attached one-car garage. And the Marigny location is sublime - one block from the French Quarter, two from historic Trem, and four blocks from Frenchmen St. music venues. Above it all (literally) is a BRAND NEW FORTIFIED ROOF. This truly is a remarkable home, in look, feel, livability and location.
