Description

Rare Bywater Gem with Private Parking & Oasis Courtyard! Welcome to 738 Lesseps at Dauphine in Beautiful Bywater, a turnkey dream home where early-1900s historic soul meets over a decade of meticulous, high-end luxury curation. Beneath towering 12-foot ceilings, this vibrant home boasts an seamless blend of timeless character and extensive modern updates—with simply too many premium improvements to list. The expansive, flexible floor plan features a stunning library/possible third bedroom, four sets of elegant French doors, transoms, and bespoke Ruffino custom closets. For maximum comfort and efficiency, the home is fully equipped with high-efficiency magnetic window inserts for sound-softening, a brand-new HVAC system (2023), and a whole-home Generac generator for ultimate peace of mind.
The heart of the home is a detailed chef's kitchen outfitted with custom tile flooring and a striking "Goddess Le Cuisine" tile mosaic perfectly centered above the gas stove. Step outside through new rear doors into your own private oasis: a professionally designed courtyard patio (2022) complete with a custom pergola, soothing water fountain, privacy fencing, and lush flower beds. An electric gate providing dedicated off-street parking, and the entire exterior shines with fresh paint completed in August 2026.
