In a neighborhood known for varied vintage architecture, 1629 Harold is a local landmark
This Mandell Place home was first renovated by disciples of the late Louisiana architect A. Hays Town, as you'll see in the deep front porch and herringbone brick
Original architectural details like casement windows, arched front door, inlay floors, brick and millwork have been retained throughout the house but the overall feeling is fresh and stylish
To the left of the entry is the living room. Original top-nailed oak flooring with a double border of cherry inlay carries through from living to dining room
To the right of the entry is the sunroom/ office, enclosed on 3 sides by French doors. Wide plank reclaimed flooring from rural Louisiana
Dining room looking through kitchen and den towards back door
Detail of dining room
Kitchen was renovated in 2015 (*Per previous seller) with appliances including Viking gas cooktop, Viking electric oven, Sub Zero fridge and Bosch dishwasher
Complementing the vintage elements is a completely modern kitchen with white stone countertops and crisp grey Shaker cabinets. Subway tile backsplash, terracotta brick tiles on the floor.
Off the kitchen is this unique butler's pantry with extra room for countertop appliances, massive storage and utility sink, full size washer and dryer
Powder bath has a most notable wall paper
The terra cotta brick tile floor extends beyond the kitchen into the den/ family room
Yes the fireplace works--even though it's spring I knew you would ask
