About this home
Half a block off the Mardi Gras parade route, 1525-27 Melpomene is a Victorian style side-by-side double dating to the late 1800s, renovated in 2021 and refined again in 2025 with designer finishes and a careful hand. A mature, majestic crepe myrtle frames the facade, and the mirrored front porches are generous and inviting.<br><br>Many original details remain: tall ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living rooms, and fireplaces with their original tile. Natural light fills both units, and added soundproofing between the units keeps each side quiet and private. Enjoy the every day comforts of gas appliances and tankless water heaters.<br><br>1527, the owner's side, offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1 half bath. An expanded grand living room anchors the first floor and opens to the kitchen, oversized foyer, and dining room. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an en suite spa bathroom, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony.<br><br>1525 offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 1 half bath, and currently generates short-term rental income. Should you prefer a single residence, the two sides can be joined with the removal of a single wall (structural beam already in place), for 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths in all.<br><br>Four completely private balconies give each side its own place to step outside above Melpomene for coffee, cocktails, or general relaxation. Out back, easy-care grounds and manicured landscaping surround a covered outdoor entertaining area and an oversized storage shed. Off-street driveway parking fits up to three cars, and a show-stopping, programmable LED uplighting system lights the exterior in the evening, customizable for any occasion, holiday, or mood.<br><br>Flood Zone X. Lock-and-leave living, well suited to a primary residence, a second home, or both. Buyer to verify short-term rental permitting and conversion requirements....
