Description
One of fewer than 20 remaining cottages built in the "Eastlake" style before the turn of the 20th century, the cottage is located on a rise of land 2 blocks from Lake Pontchartrain in the "old" Mandeville section of town. Because of its elevation of 6-7 ft. above sea level, the cottage has never flooded. A website at "www.historicmandeville cottage.com" offers more information including photos showing the charm of the cottage in detail. Built on piers, with a wrap-around veranda the original cottage has 7 sets of French-style doors made of sinker cypress opening onto the porches which give cross-ventilation into the interior of the house with its 11 ft. ceilings. All walls were built using 1x6" tongue and groove beaded heart pine. The original cottage floor is likewise heart pine. Without altering the original roof lines, an addition of two bedrooms and two baths was made in the early 1980's. Central air conditioning and heating were incorporated throughout the entire house. The house now provides approximately 2000 sq. ft. of interior space and 1178 sq.ft. of covered porches and verandas. The parcel of land that is being offered for sale upon which the cottage is situated has a 127 foot frontage on Adair Street. In addition, a 28'x100' buffer strip of land directly across Adair Street is included in the sale. The total area of this land is approximately .78 acres. While not included in this offer to sell, information regarding the purchase of a 3/4 of an acre parcel adjacent to this site is available on request.
