Property Description
Stately and full of character, 1731 Second Street is a beautifully maintained historic residence dating back to 1872, showcasing classic Queen Anne Victorian architectural details in one of New Orleans' most desirable and walkable locations. Just one block off St. Charles Avenue, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of architectural charm, expansive living space, and a versatile detached guest house.
Rich in historic detail, the home features wraparound double galleries, intricate woodwork both inside and out, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, large windows, and multiple fireplaces with decorative mantels. These timeless elements are thoughtfully preserved, offering a sense of elegance and craftsmanship rarely found today, while also benefiting from meaningful system upgrades including two new HVAC units (2023), a tankless water heater, new attic insulation, and updated lighting throughout.
The main home spans two spacious levels with a well-designed layout that balances grand entertaining with everyday functionality. The first floor features a gracious foyer, formal living and dining rooms, and a large den anchored by a fireplace, along with a well-positioned kitchen, full bath, and dedicated laundry room. The kitchen has been enhanced with a new gas range and microwave, and bathrooms have been updated with new fixtures and finishes. The flow between living spaces and the covered porch creates an effortless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining.
Upstairs, the second level offers an impressive layout including a large primary suite with a fireplace and an attached bedroom converted to an oversized dressing room. The upstairs bathroom has been fully renovated, and additional bedrooms are generously sized and complemented by a dedicated office and multiple storage options, providing flexibility for work-from-home or space for hobbies.
The outdoor space is a standout feature, offering a private, courtyard-style setting with lush green space, mature trees, and a central fountain that creates a serene focal point. Multiple porches and balcony spaces enhance the home's classic New Orleans appeal while providing inviting areas to relax or gather. At the rear of the property, a detached 910 SF two-story structure adds exceptional value and flexibility. The ground level includes a half bath, living room, and kitchen, while the upper level features two bedrooms and a full bath. The apartment has been significantly improved with a new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and updated bathrooms, making it well-suited for guest accommodations, rental income, or a live-work setup.
Additional highlights include ample off-street parking, a rare amenity in this location, and a layout that supports a variety of uses without compromising the home's historic integrity. Located just steps from the St. Charles streetcar line, renowned restaurants, boutique shopping, and Mardi Gras parade routes, the property offers the perfect blend of historic charm and everyday convenience. A rare offering that combines scale, flexibility, and location, 1731 Second Street is a truly distinctive New Orleans property with endless appeal.
