Opportunities like this don't come along often, so take a look and see if this is the home you have been waiting for! Custom-built in 1985, this French Quarter-inspired ranch home is situated in the Orleans Parkway neighborhood, a desirable community where homes are often sold between family members and friends, and don't even come on the market! The home has original touches and charm throughout, with great bones and ready for updates to suit your modern needs, or move-in immediately and enjoy the awesome 1980s vibe. The home boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with a primary suite, 2 bedrooms and a shared bathroom off the hallway. The living room, kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly together to create the heart of the home, great for entertaining friends and family. A set of French doors lead onto the patio where you enter a garden oasis on a 165-foot-deep lot with plenty of room for relaxing in the Maple tree-shaded backyard. Parking is a breeze with a carport and covered breezeway entrance into the home, a driveway for at least two more cars, and rear yard vehicle access through a gate if you want to pull a vehicle, trailer or other equipment off the street and into the privacy-fenced backyard. The Orleans Parkway neighborhood is conveniently situated between Airline Drive, Jefferson Highway, Clearview Parkway, and Causeway Boulevard and in close proximity to Ochsner Medical Center’s Main Campus, Huey P Long Bridge, Earhart Expressway, Elmwood Shopping Center, Sam’s Club, and more. With quick, easy access to shopping, dining and commuting, living a busy, modern life in this home will be made easy (did someone say dinner at Rivershack Tavern? Or easy to pick up your Haydel’s Bakery king cake after January 6th?). The streets are tree-lined with sidewalks for enjoying an evening stroll, and situated in close proximity to the Mississippi River Trail and Jefferson Playground, access to plentiful recreational opportunities is a hop, skip and a jump away.
