New Video: Magazine & State Street Neighborhood
My listing at 612 State St. is steps away from some of the best coffee spots, restaurants, parks, and shopping Uptown. It’s also a stunningly renovated Victorian home that’s got every luxurious amenity under the sun (including a gorgeous pool & cabana). Check out my neighborhood favorites in the video, and take a peek into this amazing property. Then get in touch to see it in person!
New Video: Garden District Highlights
The Garden District is known for grand homes, lush gardens, and remarkable cemeteries. You can stroll past beautiful architecture, visit the shops at the Rink, meet a friend for coffee, celebrate at Commander’s Palace, and walk to restaurants and boutiques on Magazine Street. In the heart of it all is 1524 Seventh Street, an historic Queen Anne mansion that my client recently purchased. Interested in the Garden District? Let’s talk.
A Second Home for a California Family
A Baby in the Bywater A new grandson was just the incentive Barb and John Basolone needed to buy a second home in New Orleans. They’re Californians, but their pregnant daughter Hannah and son-in-law Eli had moved to the Bywater a few years earlier. Having three other adult children with spouses and partners living in California, they knew a second home in the Bywater would be a good investment and come in handy. Visiting New Orleans Regularly Explains Barb, “We love to visit New Orleans for a couple of weeks at a time. And our other children all want to visit, see the baby, and do Mardi Gras and all the things! It’s always fun, and everyone’s nice there. You just don’t find that here in California because we drive everywhere. Because so many people are walking around the city of New Orleans, there’s the opportunity to experience that.” Barb was planning ahead because Hannah was due in January; she happened upon a listing and was connected to me through an online portal. I ended up showing them that property and a few others. Then in September, Barb spotted a house right down the street from Hannah’s and called me. It was fully renovated and a great fit! I’m honored that Barb had this to say about working with me: “Tracey just made it so easy for us. She helped us compare the house to others, and figure out the right offer. Then we left town, and it was all done remotely! “Tracey was amazing! She had the home inspection done, deciphered the report, and worked with the listing agent to get some things fixed. She even went back once or twice to say that something wasn’t done right! She had the sewer line scoped, kept our son-in-law Eli in the loop, found a metal worker to put railings up in front, and connected us with someone to manage the property – which has been indispensable! I can’t think of anything I’d need more than that! “I showed up for the final walk-through, and she had the home inspectors come back and check it out. Even her office team made sure we knew when property taxes were due. Just to have somebody take that load off is amazing. “Tracey’s so easy to be around, so transparent about everything, and no-nonsense. There’s a lot to be said for that. And she seems like a lot of fun – I mean, if I lived there full-time, I’d love to be her friend! – Barb Basolone
