This stunning Creole cottage located in the heart of the Historic Old Mandeville Preservation District, just two blocks from Lake Pontchartrain boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, an office, a dining room, a keeping room, and a family room, all within 3,063 square feet of living space. Old architectural finds are scattered throughout the home, preserving its historic charm. The property features beautifully landscaped grounds, which can be enjoyed from multiple porches at the front and back of the house.
The home is designed for comfort, with energy-efficient windows, a full-house generator, and antique heart of pine floors repurposed from a deconstructed factory in the Northeast adding character to the downstairs area. A new roof was installed in July 2024, and an irrigation system ensures the gardens stay lush and vibrant.
The spacious backyard is ideal for hosting family gatherings, outdoor barbecues, and recreational activities. After a long day, you can relax on the front porch, taking in the cool lake breezes. The location also offers easy access to the St. Tammany Trace, perfect for bike rides, and the neighborhood is golf cart-friendly, making it easy to explore local shopping and dining options.
This Creole cottage in Old Mandeville offers a unique blend of historic charm, modern amenities, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
