3040 ESPLANADE Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119

Looking for sophistication, comfort and charm all wrapped up in one home? Look no further! This elegant and inviting raised basement home captures the essence of classic New Orleans living, blending timeless charm with everyday comfort. High ceilings and beautiful wood floors create a warm atmosphere throughout and distinctive architectural details and uniquely styled walls add character at every turn. A unique layout with multiple rooms and a gorgeous open side hall creates spaces for entertaining or everyday living. This home sits on a corner lot in the Esplanade Ridge Historic District. But, wait! That's not all. There is still the "basement" encompassing 2,616 sf. This multi-use space has been used by the current owners as a cozy den, an office, a game room (pool table and fridge included), storage rooms, laundry room (washer and dryer included), workshop and garage. Wooden lockers line several walls in this bonus space that seems never-ending. Full bath #4 is located in the basement. New exterior paint job in March 2026. The Faubourg St. John neighborhood is the icing on the cake. Walking distance to Bayou Saint John, schools, parks, museums, many restaurants and of course, Jazz Fest! This property is zoned HU-RD2. Check out this link for City of New Orleans permitted and conditional uses for this zoning. https://czo.nola.gov/article-11/#11-2 Listed as "average condition" but very livable as-is. Main reason for "average" is the kitchen and bathrooms are not modern.
