Once featured in Dwell Magazine, this home is intentionally designed as a “starter home”. The upper two floors house the owner’s primary unit, while the first level may be used to generate rental income until the owner wishes to expand into the entire home. That expansion is simply achieved through the opening and closing of a carefully placed fire-rated door. In addition, few homes in New Orleans offer views of the Mississippi River. Seize this opportunity to own such a home in the Black Pearl neighborhood! Located across from the Uptown Square Farmer's Market, this (one or two-family) home capitalizes on vertical development to gain living space with expansive views amidst the activities of New Orleans’ riverfront. Designed by award winning bildDESIGN and built by bildCONSTRUCTS, this home has been featured in various publications. It’s proximity to the nearby landscape of warehouses and wharves challenges traditional expectations for both form and material in residential architecture with the home's use of durable materials in cladding, fenestration, railing, and garden enclosure. It is within walking/biking distance to Audubon Park, Tulane, Loyola, the St. Charles Streetcar, Tartine, Singleton's Market, and other delights, such as the Mississippi River Levee trail! There's also a neighborhood park across the street, which evolves into a dog walker gathering spot most afternoons.
