There's a particular kind of morning that only certain homes can give you. The coffee is ready. The French doors off the living room are cracked open -- just enough to let in the sound of the nearby courtyard. Sunlight moves across hardwood floors. The fireplace from last night has gone quiet. Life feels unhurried. That morning is available at 1703 Audubon Trace. This three-story, 1,935-square-foot townhouse in Old Jefferson has been updated with real care. The kitchen is contemporary: white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a handcrafted glass tile backsplash that catches the light differently depending on the hour, and a full suite of stainless appliances. Hardwood floors run from the entry through every level. A white-painted brick fireplace anchors the main living room, which opens via French doors to your private lattice-fenced patio -- small but perfect. The primary suite has the spacious, relaxed feeling of a boutique hotel room that you've decorated yourself: a quartz vanity with Hollywood-style lighting, a jetted soaking tub, subway tile, a proper dressing area with walk-in closet, and -- opening directly off the bedroom -- a private balcony looking out over the community's lush green courtyard. Trees. Lattice. Birdsong. No street noise. At the very top, the third floor waits with vaulted ceilings and a cathedral gable window that turns this studio retreat into a lantern of light. Paint here. Write here. Zoom here. Or just sit quietly and do nothing here. Outside: Audubon Trace -- 15 acres of Victorian-style townhouses, two pools, a gazebo, neighborly social events, and a levee path that leads on foot or bicycle to Audubon Park. Ochsner Medical just minutes away. Uptown beyond that. Attached garage. Low JP taxes. This is a home that takes care of you.
