Nestled in the heart of Uptown’s Golden Rectangle, this fiver year old home offers a thoughtful balance of traditional New Orleans architectural features with modern finishes and amenities. The welcoming front porch opens to the high ceilings and heart pine wood floors of the grand main hall that is a modern version of the older center-hall homes of the neighborhood. The first room to the right offers views of the front yard, is currently used as an office, but can easily serve as an additional sitting room. Just steps away is the formal dining room that can accommodate a full accompaniment of furniture and features gorgeous wallpaper and custom drapes curated by Quinn Stinson of Duh for Garden & Home. Further down the main hall are the generous living spaces. The living room is flanked with custom bookshelves and a fireplace on one side, and the gorgeous kitchen to the other side. The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight as it boasts white marble counters, Thermador appliances, and custom cabinets that include a larder that smartly conceals the microwave oven and coffee station when they are not in use. The kitchen is connected to the dining room via a well-equipped butler’s pantry that features a full wet bar, 90-bottle Thermador wine refrigerator, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, custom cabinets, and custom reclaimed wood shelving for wine bottles. Back down the main hall and up the stairs is the second floor which is home to the master suite, an ensuite guest bedroom, two more guest bedrooms that share a bath, and the laundry room. The master suite is a true sanctuary. The spacious bedroom has a sitting area, fireplace, and opens to a 360 sf balcony that overlooks the backyard oasis. The resort-style bathroom has marble counters, heated marble floors, two vanities, a make-up station, a hidden beverage refrigerator and television and two generous walk-in custom closets. The guest bedrooms and baths are spacious and finished with the same quality materials as seen throughout the home. The third floor adds great value to the home as there is a 785 sf bonus room that is a wonderful playroom for children, a home theater, or game room, and there is an unfinished 228 sf climate-controlled room that can be finished and customized to perfectly complete this home. The space between these rooms is plumbed to accommodate a future bathroom. There is also access to the dedicated deck that houses the A/C units and generator. By far one of the favorite parts of this home for the current owners is the back yard, which is on full display from the living room and kitchen through the three sets of floor-to-ceiling ironed-framed French doors. The covered porch has slate flooring and expands the width of the living room and kitchen. The salt-water pool has a jacuzzi and safety fence, and is surrounded by beautiful peacock pavers, manicured landscaping, and a generous amount of maintenance-free turf. There is even an elevator shaft for a future elevator and a foundation and electrical conduit for a pool-side cabana. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a secure electric gate is at the foot of the driveway. This residence is centrally located just a few blocks from Henry Clay Ave, State St, and Magazine St. and offers quick access to the suburbs via River Rd.
