1217 Jefferson Avenue

This impeccable Uptown home perfectly balances historic preservation and modernity, achieved under the guidance of notable architects and designers. In the heart of the Uptown's Golden Rectangle, this residence has five independent bedrooms, each of which has ample closet space, windows and natural light, and practical utility. The three and one half bathrooms have the highest finish levels, including marble slabs, custom vanities, iron bathtubs, spacious floorplans, Vola fixtures, Waterworks lighting and tankless hot water. The living areas are perfect for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, and are adorned with original, highly detailed architectural trim and medallions, refinished hardwood floors, and authentic Victorian hardware. The kitchen is similarly extraordinary, with Gaggenau appliances, custom cabinetry, bookmatched Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, and a wet bar with wine storage and a plumbed espresso machine. It also offers a view of the backyard, which is a private sanctuary with a saltwater pool, an outdoor fireplace and mature landscaping. The home's double lot accommodates off-street parking for 3+ cars, a whole house generator, a full-intake water filtration system, and an electric car charger. The Blue Chip location is walkable in every direction. Stroll to the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, Prytania Street for a movie or dinner, Magazine Street for boutique shopping, cocktails and fine dining, or Audubon Park for tranquility. Wholefoods is blocks away and Mardi Gras parades will beckon at both Magazine Street and Napoleon Ave. This house is a testament to its rich history, thoughtful stewardship and the vibrant culture of New Orleans.
