House of the week: Camelback on 2nd Street

Sorry for the slack, but I am back with a new "house of the week" to wow you and make me cry in the corner like a chastened little girl. This week's stunner is located in one of my favorite neighborhoods, the Garden District.

Right off Magazine on 2nd Street lies this beautiful camelback house hidden in the foliage. Build in 1887, this home features 4216 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and pocket doors. The property also includes a two-story guest house that has it's own, fabulous entryway.

The house is less than five blocks to St. Charles Avenue (a.k.a. parade route), only a couple of blocks away from Coquette or Stein's Deli and a short hike to Juan's Flying Burrito. It all could be mine. It's just a small matter of digging up $775,000.
