Unique opportunity on the bayou
The Spanish Custom House was built c. 1784 and is one of the most significant historic buildings in New Orleans. The siblings of the deceased owners have had it for sale forever, but no one bit on the $1.9 million they were asking, and neither on the $1.3 million it got reduced to. I think they would have taken a cool million as things were growing worse in the economy but now, it is with Neal Auction Company and is being auctioned off on February 10, 2009 with no minimum bid and selling regardless of price – AMAZING.
If I had a pot to pee in, I’d buy this house in a flash – it is beautiful and rare and just the grounds are enough to warrant living there. The house itself is gorgeous. The side wrought iron fence is amazing. Wow.
