19 Killdeer St, New Orleans, LA 70124

Property Description

Lake Vista is New Orleans' original lakefront garden suburb, opened by the Orleans Levee Board in 1938 on land reclaimed from Lake Pontchartrain. 19 Killdeer Street is a more recent chapter. Built custom in 2003, this two-story French Country residence takes a modern, street-facing approach to the neighborhood's mid-century roots, with 4,128 square feet on a 75 x 125 lot.Eleven-foot ceilings and Brazilian hardwood floors set a formal tone on the first level, with defined dining, family, and kitchen spaces that flow together while keeping their own character. The living room overlooks the rear patio and yard through a wall of windows, with built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace set in a stone mantel. The kitchen is built for cooking and gathering: a large island with prep sink and bar seating, custom solid-wood cabinetry, stone counters, and brick floors continuing into the oversized breakfast room. A 48-inch range offers five burners, a griddle, and dual ovens, with a Viking refrigerator and freezer, ice machine, and walk-in pantry.The first-floor primary suite features a marble bath, soaking tub, separate shower, water closet, and two fitted walk-in closets. A guest bedroom with full bath, a powder room, and a full-size laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath off a landing ideal for use as a den or office. A bonus room above the carport serves as a media room, game room, or larger office. Out back, a covered patio with built-in grill opens to a brick terrace with central fountain, framed by mature landscaping, irrigation, and uplighting, the rear yard backing to Balsam Lane.The two-car carport fits full-size SUVs with ease, plus a motor court for added parking and two storage rooms, one large enough to be a true workshop. Sonos surround sound carries through the living spaces. A whole-house generator, monitored security with cameras, business-grade WiFi, and EV-ready wiring round out the systems.
