Few homes in New Orleans, which are not part of a high-rise condo tower, offer views of the Mississippi River. Seize this opportunity to own such a home in the Black Pearl neighborhood! Located across from the Uptown Square Farmer's Market, this two-family home capitalizes on vertical development to gain living space with expansive views, amidst the activities of New Orleans’ riverfront. Reside in the owner's unit on the top two floors, while earning income on the first floor, or the floor plan effortlessly allows for the capture of all or some of the first floor as additional living space for the owner. Designed by award-winning bildDESIGN and built by bildCONSTRUCTS, this home was featured in DWELL Magazine. It’s proximity to the nearby landscape of warehouses and wharves challenges traditional expectations for both form and material in residential architecture with the home's use of industrial materials in cladding, fenestration, railing, and garden enclosure. Walking/biking distance to Audubon Park, Tulane, Loyola, the St. Charles Streetcar, Tartine, Singleton's Market, and other delights, such as the Mississippi River Levee trail! There's also a neighborhood park across the street, which evolves into a dog walker gathering spot most afternoons. Jazz Fest Sunday Open House (10am-noon).
