3701 Carondelet Street

As you arrive at this 19th-century Eastlake Victorian side-hall home, original chimney pots and rare alligator ridge tiles immediately set the tone. Beyond the gated, fully mature garden, an inviting front porch with swing welcomes easy afternoons and parade-day charm. Inside the side hall, curved antique stained-glass windows and the first of three original plaster chandelier medallions greet you. To the left, an oversized cased opening leads to a comfortable living room featuring one of five fireplaces with original tile and cast-iron summer front. Wrapping around the chimney brings you to a dining area perfectly suited for a six-seat table. Continuing through the hall, you’ll find the first of two full bathrooms, followed by a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, a six-burner gas range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer. Original transomed doorways lead to a flexible bedroom with custom built-ins accommodating a queen bed, daybed, or workspace. The primary suite offers a fifth fireplace mantel, a walk-in closet by California Closets, and a modern bath with porcelain floors, marble accents, a cordless shower, and vessel sink. Off the kitchen, louvered doors open to a walk-in pantry with stacked washer/dryer and attic access to storage, a tankless water heater, and a newer central HVAC system. A light-filled den opens through glazed French doors to a covered rear porch and private courtyard with secure off-street parking, electronic gate, and half-house generator. Located just steps from the St. Charles Avenue parade route and situated in an X flood zone, this thoughtfully renovated Uptown residence blends historic architecture, modern comfort, and true New Orleans lifestyle.
