2738 Saint Charles Avenue

Step into the splendor of this architectural masterpiece built by John Coates in 1975 as a group of five independent residences. Most of them are long-time owners. 2738 St Charles has only had two owners, the second owner since 1987, and is now awaiting a new vision and inspiration to renovate, refurbish and transform it. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of New Orleans architecture which is rarely available in such a prime location! From the gated recessed entrance you are greeted by the simple grandeur of a marble floor foyer, elegant stairway, high ceilings with medallion centered chandeliers and classic wainscoting which continues to the sublime living and dining room. Glass French Doors open from the living room to a fenced-in courtyard which presently houses a “hot tub”. A mirrored wet bar was built into the elevator shaft space and sits tastefully behind a set of closed doors across from the dining room. The spacious kitchen is directly off the foyer ready to be updated to a new standard of culinary arts and entertaining. The Second Floor has a primary bedroom with en-suite bath overlooking tree-lined St. Charles and features two more bedrooms that receive wonderful natural light as well as another full bathroom. The graceful stairway continues up to the voluminous Third Floor. This marvelous versatile space has handsome wood built-in shelves around a New Orleans style tiled decorative fireplace, a full bath, and great storage with 7 closets that access the attic. Whether a place for serenity and relaxation or for high energy and entertainment, the third floor offers many flexible possibilities such as a spacious guest bedroom, den or office, exercise or yoga studio, game or movie room… As Lagniappe, a rare attached garage on St Charles. Built in 1975, the garage is of a more modest size, reflective of vintage cars like the Aston Martin. Amazing Location - Around the corner from Commander's and "The Rink" and on the Mardi Gras Parade Route!
