Designed by JD Dansby & Occupying the entire block face & set among moss draped trees in the highly-acclaimed historic district’s most coveted section. Flagstone accents and leaded glass windows are just some of the great mid-century details this unique & well-maintained home offers.
A large, over 15,000 sq ft shaded corner lot, filled with trees. A rare find just barely outside the loop with this much room and such a private feeling setting.

Adjacent bath, note the round window you can see in the mirror's reflection.

The huge, huge, huge primary bedroom. I am pretty sure that bed is a King size one. At any rate, any size bedroom set, with side pieces, will fit in this space. More hardwoods.

Another fabulous vintage tile bathroom for the primary bedroom.
Enjoy your own pool this summer. the wooded backdrop behind the iron fencing leads down to the bayou. You have no neighbors obviously on that side.

Opposite view, sliders are to the primary bedroom and French doors in the middle go to the den. You will not find another house this close to downtown, in such a beautiful setting, with this level of character & finishes, for anything close to $107 psf. This is a needle in the haystack find!
