147 Marigny Ave, Mandeville, LA 70448

Description

This character-filled home sits on a corner lot surrounded by beautiful trees, creating a rare sense of privacy
while still being in the heart of Old Mandeville. Natural light pours through the house, with
leafy views from nearly every window. The floor plan offers a wonderful balance of cozy,
inviting rooms and gracious open spaces, with pleasing proportions, thoughtful details, and
a rich, distinctive interior palette featuring Farrow & Ball paint.
The well-designed kitchen provides abundant counter space and newer appliances, making
it both functional and inviting. Upstairs, the landing opens to two distinct spaces: a
charming L-shaped bedroom or office with its own full bath, and a spacious primary suite.
A private entry hall with a walk-in closet and linen closet creates a graceful transition into
the generously sized bedroom, where high ceilings and windows on every side offer
abundant light and peaceful views of the surrounding trees.
One of the property’s most distinctive features is the approximately 650-square-foot guest
house, connected to the main home by a raised walkway through the trees. Currently used
as an artist’s studio, this versatile building offers possibilities as a guest house, home office,
creative studio, rental, or additional living space. Numerous windows and soft northern
light make it an especially inspiring place to work, relax, or welcome visitors.
Outside, the gorgeous landscaping creates a secluded garden retreat, complete with a small,
raised deck and bench—the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee while hummingbirds,
butterflies, songbirds, and dragonflies visit the garden.
And then there’s Old Mandeville living! From this location, you can walk to the lakefront
and an exceptional variety of restaurants, shops, and neighborhood favorites. A truly special property offering character, privacy, natural beauty, a separate guest house, and the walkability and convenience that make Old Mandeville so desirable.
