Imagine living in a piece of art in the Bayou St John neighborhood! Esteemed New Orleans artist, Robert Guthrie, created a modern marvel of living space. Built in 1918 and once a gas station, this iconic structure has been transformed into an architectural masterpiece. In deference to the building’s history, the original gas station exterior was kept intact with an expansive covered front area. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, an open floor plan reminiscent of a luxury loft, high end kit with all the desired appliances, upper BR fashioned from the original hydraulic lift, and 2 bath. Only a creative artist could embellish cabinets with pulls made from car emblems and bathroom sconces made from car head lights! Whether you're a creative professional, an entrepreneur, or simply someone with an eye for the unique, this residence offers a canvas for self-expression. The rooftop terrace is the crown jewel—an expansive outdoor sanctuary that delivers panoramic views of the surrounding neighborhood, ideal for sunset cocktails, morning yoga, or simply soaking in the city's unmistakable ambiance. Set on a prominent corner lot in the heart of the Bayou St. John neighborhood, this home enjoys one of the most desirable and culturally rich locations in New Orleans. Just one block from the peaceful waters of the bayou, residents can enjoy scenic walks, kayaking, or relaxing beneath century-old oaks. A few steps more and you're at the Fair Grounds Race Course, home to the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival—making this property not just a home, but a front-row seat to one of the city’s most celebrated annual events. City Park, with its botanical gardens, sculpture museum, and sprawling green spaces, is also just a short stroll away, as are countless beloved restaurants, cafés, and bars. This is more than a home, it’s a conversation piece, a work of art, and a gateway to the soul of New Orleans. This is an opportunity that rarely comes along! Schedule a Private Showing
