2509 Dauphine Street

Are you ready to catch a unicorn? This beautiful and charming unicorn of a home is a rare double shotgun on an oversized lot with a lovely huge back porch and a pool with a pool house. The width of the lot at the rear is more than double the width of the lot at the front, giving it extra side yard and backyard as compared to the average home in downtown neighborhoods. This provides plenty of outdoor space for the pool and a backyard that is big enough, but not so big that it's difficult to maintain, striking the perfect balance for urban living.With 12-foot-high ceilings and beautiful heart pine floors, chimneys and original architectural features like wide baseboard trim and transom windows, this house is sure not to disappoint those looking for old New Orleans charm, with modern updates in the kitchens and bathrooms, which feature quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There is also a pass-through door in the center wall between the two units, allowing for use as a single-family home. Currently owner occupied on one side with the other side rented as a fully furnished corporate apartment. Come see this home before it's gone.New metal roof Nov 2022. Expansive attic space with 9-foot-high peak offers potential for attic room.
