The Residence

History, kept beautifully intact.

1929 Esplanade Avenue is a two-story Esplanade Ridge residence built in 1882 in the late Italianate-Victorian style, retaining an impressive collection of original details throughout.

An inviting front porch and swing offer a perch for enjoying life along the avenue. Beyond the iron front gate, a generous side walkway runs the length of the main house to a private brick courtyard with a built-in brick grill and a separate rear guesthouse awaiting renovation, with exciting possibilities for additional living or work space.

The entire interior has recently been repainted and the hardwood floors refinished to a high gloss, a refreshed backdrop for architecture rich in history, scale and authentic New Orleans character.
