Description
Welcome to the historic "Widow Castenada's House" boasting a massive corner lot with 4 separate units. This historic mansion was moved by the city of New Orleans around 1890 to make way for the prestigious Esplanade Avenue connecting the Mississippi River to Bayou St. John which then continues on to the New Orleans Museum of Art and finally on to Lake Pontchartrain. The primary units are joined at the end of two, 33 Grand Formal Entry Hallways with 14 ceilings. Each of these sister units have glorious double parlors (formal living and dining rooms) with antique decorative fireplaces, cypress pocket doors in Unit 2033, soaring ceilings with plaster moldings, gleaming original long leaf pine plank wood floors and all the charm of antebellum New Orleans. Large eat-in kitchens with plenty of cabinets, separate gaming rooms and dens provide a plethora of living space. Unit 2035 has 3 en-suite bedrooms while Unit 2033 has one bedroom and one bath. The upstairs efficiency apartment has its own entrance and wrought iron fenced yard. A separate bungalow apartment is located in the rear yard. There is also a detached two-car garage with electric doors for secure parking. Come and step back in time, sit a spell, and enjoy the beautifully manicured flower gardens that surround this corner lot with its elongated front gallery waiting for lazy afternoon rockers and lemonade.
