A New Orleans house with a point of view. Beneath the canopy of a magnificent live oak, this distinctive home pairs historic architecture with an unexpected sense of color, light and personality. Its signature stained-glass installation transforms the front gallery throughout the day, casting jewel-toned light across the porch and interiors and creating an unforgettable arrival.
Inside, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, decorative millwork, exposed brick fireplaces and graceful architectural details speak to the home’s history, while bright, open living spaces make it remarkably comfortable for modern life. Generous front rooms flow into an airy kitchen, dining and casual living space designed for everyday living and entertaining, with abundant natural light and an easy connection to the outdoors.
Upstairs, serene bedrooms and private porch spaces offer a quiet retreat, surrounded by the leafy canopy of one of New Orleans’ most beloved neighborhoods.
This is something increasingly difficult to find: an authentic New Orleans home that has retained its soul. Architecturally interesting, warm, collected and entirely its own, it offers a compelling alternative to ubiquitous renovations. For the buyer looking for history, personality and a genuine sense of place, this is New Orleans living as it should be.
