819 Bellecastle Street

Description

Located just off of Jefferson and Magazine, this classic New Orleans home exudes historic charm. Floor to ceiling windows, hardwood floors, 12' ceilings, custom iron railings, and a beautiful open floor plan all add up to charm and convenience. A beautiful screened-in porch overlooks a lovely courtyard and is not included in the square footage. Gorgeous updated kitchen and a lovely utility room with marble counters, a kitchenette, and an extra refrigerator. The front portion of the home may serve as a separate guest suite, if needed. Professional landscaping, complete with an irrigation system, and a courtyard of historic repurposed bricks make the outdoor space simply stunning. The fenced courtyard is ringed with fruit-bearing trees, and this owner installed a sweet outdoor shower (with hot and cold water). Save big on electric bills with the 31 solar panels installed in 2015 (not visible from the street or backyard). Average electric bills are just $50 per month! A Tesla Powerwall was added in 2023, seamlessly transferring in the event that electricity goes out, ensuring that this home does not lose power. Plumbing and electric have all been upgraded, and Hardi-plank siding has been installed. New roof with architectural shingles, new decking and new rafters was added in 2015. Enjoy walking to Whole Foods for groceries and to the vibrancy of Magazine Street with its beautiful shops and restaurants. This home is the perfect Mardi Gras parade party home, with Uptown parades just a block away. Gorgeous outdoor spaces include a pretty porch to drink morning coffee and visit with neighbors. Meticulously maintained!
