You can own this double gallery Victorian for a cool $1M

Built in 1865, it’s one block from St. Charles Avenue.

Few architectural styles are more conducive to New Orleanians’ porch-sitting, mint julep-swilling lifestyle than the double gallery, which boasts a porch and balcony. This prime example of Victorian architecture was built in 1865. Its Uptown address near the intersection of Peniston and Pitts streets is a short walk to St. Charles Avenue or Magazine Street.

Inside, find historic details including gas lanterns, arched doorways, Swarovski crystal chandeliers, pocket doors, fireplaces, transoms, and stained-glass windows.

The gracious home has a few modern updates. It received a new roof in 2016. Two second-floor bathrooms were renovated in 2016, and the first-floor bathroom was renovated this year. The kitchen has also been renovated.

In total, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the home’s 3,689 square feet. Many bedrooms have their own working gas or wood fireplace, and the master suite includes a sitting room with balcony access.
