They don’t make them like this anymore! Built in 1937, 4071 Fairmont Drive sits on high ground and offers everything you love about old-school architecture and appeal.

Living at 4071 Fairmont Drive

Nestled in the heart of Gentilly Terrace, this delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is a true gem that stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and enduring appeal. From the gleaming glass doorknobs to the elegant coved ceilings, from the arched doorways to the picture railings, every inch of this home exudes character and warmth.

With both a living room and a den, the floorplan is flexible enough to suit anyone’s needs. Original hardwood floors run throughout except in the kitchen (and they may be under that flooring, but we’re not sure) and there’s even a gas fireplace for our occasional cold nights.  A spacious formal dining room with a gorgeous vintage light fixture connects to the kitchen, so your dinner parties will be warm and welcoming.

The super cute kitchen has original cabinets and windows, and all of the appliances are yours to keep, ensuring it’s functional from the day you move in. Included appliances are the refrigerator, dishwasher, gas range/oven, washer, and dryer.

A former laundry room has been transformed into a cozy craft area complete with its very own original built-in ironing board. (And fear not, washer/dryer hookups remain for those who prefer a more traditional setup!)

Beds + Baths

Storage enthusiasts will rejoice at the cedar-lined closets, perfect for preserving treasured garments and linens. The primary suite is tucked away at the rear of the house and includes a private bathroom with original tile work and a room walk-in closet. The guest bath is our favorite part, because who could resist the allure of the lavender bathroom, a charming rarity in retro tile color?
