Prime Metairie opportunity – gutted and ready for your vision! Located on a secluded street just off West Esplanade, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your dream home in one of Metairie's most desirable areas. The home has been gutted and prepped for renovation, complete with engineer-stamped plans to bring your vision to life. Major updates have already been taken care of, including new underground plumbing and some new interior plumbing and a brand-new roof installed after Hurricane Ida. The HVAC system was replaced in 2021, including new ductwork, ensuring efficient cooling and heating. This home features newer windows, with those in the front replaced after Katrina and the back windows installed just months ago. An enclosed patio provides additional living space, and a brand-new Frigidaire gas range is already in place for your future kitchen. Situated in a quiet, low-traffic area, this property is within walking distance to Lakeshore Playground and convenient to some of Metairie's best shopping, including Dorignac's, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. Enjoy easy access to the Metairie parade route and the beauty of Lake Pontchartrain just minutes away. This is a fantastic opportunity for investors, builders, or homeowners looking to customize their own space. With the groundwork already laid, all that's left is your personal touch!
