4208 DUMAINE STREET

Endearing 1920's New Orleans cottage, set off Dumaine Street in the famed City Park Triangle neighborhood. Almost all historic particulars remain imperforate including heart pine floors, millwork, framing and trim, transoms, fireplaces with exposed mortar & hearths, mantels, pocket doors, brass knobs and hardware throughout. Home is very warm-lit with great natural light in every room through leaded glass windows - Floor plan is allocated smartly and lives well over almost 1,800 square feet with 2 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, separate den and living rooms, a flex or office space and a formal dining room.
Under current ownership the home has been preserved and well cared for but with major and needed upgrades completed, including:
- Extensive foundation corrective and repair work.
- All exterior siding removed, moisture barrier/Tyvek installed and replaced with Hardie plank boards and painted.
- Right side reframed and reinsulated.
- Access doors replaced.
- Pine flooring sanded and refinished.
- Subterranean drain line replaced.
- Rebuilt HVAC condenser platforms.
- Repairs completed to roof transitions and valleys.
A happy and lovely New Orleans original, this home is a vibe with distinct character and a specific appeal. A special place, a soulful house walkable to coffee, snowballs, dining, the streetcar and City Park.
