Girod House Condominium, New Orleans

Girod House Condominium, New Orleans --
Creole Townhouse built by Charles Thompson in 1833 for Francois Girod --

The Girod House residence is an interesting example of a brick Creole-style double townhouse with an unusual feature. The house has a central passageway in addition to two flanking entrances, both of which were added in a later alteration. The house was originally entered through this passageway, which leads to a courtyard similar to those in many French Quarter homes. The two doorways were once windows which opened on the traditional double parlors. An airy balcony with a lovely cast-iron railing graces the second level.

The house was built in 1833 as a double for Francois Girod by Charles Thompson, and is an unusual but welcome piece of architecture for this area.

Located on beautiful Esplanade Avenue, Girod House features 5 condominium units. Offered for sale is Unit B, featuring a living room, separate bedroom and complete galley kitchen with stone countertops and a built-in dishwasher. Recent renovations also include a marble shower and bamboo flooring throughout the unit. The unit comes complete with central air and heat and on-site laundry facilities are available at no cost. The asking price is $199,000.

All of purchaser’s title closing costs are paid if closed with seller’s title company.
