Property Description
On the National Register of Historic Places, (c. 1939) 847 Friscoville Avenue, in Old Arabi, LA is a purists dream come true! Situated on five lots of record, and on a corner, you'll love every square inch of this meticulously restored and maintained home. With three bedrooms, three baths total, original oak flooring, vintage tile, coved plaster walls, arched walk throughs, an ornamental fireplace, formal dining, a sunroom and plenty of storage, she certainly lives for today. Enjoy a chef's kitchen with original tile and a Jenn Aire fridge. Two of the bedrooms are drenched in natural light with corner orientations. The shared bathroom is in pristine vintage condition, in blue and yellow. The extra large ensuite primary, also very bright, has her own sitting room, as well as plenty of storage. The attached garage offers a laundry space with a full bathroom. There's also a detached two-car garage/workshop with 800sf of space! Outside, shade, sunshine and color abound ~ from a huge Live Oak tree, to fruit trees to elegant crepe myrtles that frame the oversized lot, and so much more. The (20x20') French Quarter style brick patio was built for entertaining and is ready for your fountain of choice! And how about that huge (6 x 40’) front porch?! The Mississippi River is walking distance and the French Quarter is just 4.3 miles – you won’t find another country-in-the city Estate like this one! Have young ones? Arabi Elementary has an excellent pre-k program that is fee-free for a full day! Discover for yourself the nostalgic feeling of yesteryear that Old Arabi has to offer. There's a slower pace around here, you'll be reminded of a time when life was simple and livin' was easy! (Flood Zone X, roof 2025, see attached list of notable features and upgrades.) Open house Saturday, September 26, noon til 2pm!
