Coveted corner lot. Remodeled. Renovated. Well-maintained. Perfectly-priced. Move-in ready.
These were all selling points that quickly moved the Uptown New Orleans home at 2132 Jefferson Ave., said Margaret Stewart, realtor with Latter & Blum. The home sold for $1,226,000 on Sept. 11. Stewart was the listing agent on the transaction, while Latter & Blum realtor Caroline Graham was the sales agent.
It spent just two days on the market, received multiple offers within 48 hours following an open house, and closed within two weeks. The home was built in 1918, but remodeled and renovated over the years, including by the most recent seller, a local New Orleans resident living there for 13 years, said Stewart.
“The seller took tremendous pride in making sure this fabulous, traditional Uptown New Orleans style home was well-maintained, combined with a beautiful remodel job on the first floor that created a stunning primary bedroom suite with a beautiful, spacious bathroom, and impressive walk-in closet, while also adding an extra downstairs room for office space,” said Stewart. “The home is on a coveted corner lot with pretty curb appeal, stunning slate front porch, spacious front and rear yards with lush landscaping, and side-by-side, off-street parking.”
Additional amenities include wood floors, natural light, kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, kitchen opening to a back deck and yard, formal living, dining and den plus additional bonus/game room with a window, and exposed brick and fireplace.
Graham said 2132 Jefferson “gave the ambiance of old traditional New Orleans style. The corner lot with off-street parking gave it an edge above the rest.” She added that her clients, an Uptown family, were drawn to “something with a foyer and not open concept, with separated spaces for children and adults.” The downstairs play room or greet room leads to two beds upstairs.
Another plus for Graham’s clients is the proximity to Danneel Park + Playground on Octavia Street and Danneel Street, along with Holy Name of Jesus School, also in the area.
“It’s a beautiful location with nice parks and schools; everything in walking distance and close proximity to Uptown stores and restaurants,” Stewart said.
Graham on the real estate market: “The market today is finding its balance within the ebbs and flows of the historical patterns. Insurance companies and property tax assessments have made buying much more difficult for your average buyer. Thankfully, local New Orleans lenders can get more creative in their financing packages and products to offset their clients buying power.”
