Description

Rare Uptown opportunity beneath majestic oak trees just blocks from Oak Street. Expansive home with a fully independent second living space ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, or work from home flexibility. Space, location, and versatility combined.

Offering extraordinary space, flexibility, and strong income potential, this beautifully updated corner lot property adapts effortlessly to modern living.

The main residence features nearly 2,000 square feet of light filled living space with hardwood floors, windows on all sides, and a flowing layout ideal for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Multiple living and dining areas provide flexibility rarely found in Uptown homes. The updated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a designer vent hood, and an inviting breakfast area perfect for gatherings large or small.

With five total bedrooms (3 up & 2 down), or five bedrooms plus a generous home office, the floor plan easily accommodates remote work, numerous house guests, or evolving household needs. A newly added fourth full bathroom, refreshed interiors, and thoughtful updates throughout create a move in ready home that balances classic charm and character with modern convenience.

The enclosed sun porch offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the neighborhood's beautiful tree canopy, while the privacy fenced in and landscaped backyard provides a private outdoor setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

A rare and valuable highlight is the fully independent lower level residence with its own separate private entrance at 7900 Willow Street. Comparable in size to the upper level, this separate living space includes 2 separate bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas, and its own private laundry room. Perfect for multigenerational living, guest quarters, rental income, or an expansive work from home setup, this flexibility significantly enhances both lifestyle and long term value.

Located just blocks from Oak Street's restaurants, coffee shops, music venues, and boutiques, this property combines walkability, charm, and versatility in one of Uptown New Orleans' most desirable settings.

Space, location, flexibility, and opportunity converge here in a home that truly stands apart. Schedule your private showing and experience the possibilities firsthand.
