About this home
Important early 19th-century Center Hall Cottage on a picturesque block in the heart of the historic Faubourg Marigny! Meticulously and authentically restored, this villa-type home is a true architectural gem, featuring a fine Greek Key entrance with an elegant pediment, soaring 12-foot ceilings, original pocket doors, refined transom windows, working wood shutters on all windows, and operable windows that bring in abundant natural light and fresh air. Gorgeous cypress floors run throughout the home, enhancing its warmth and historic charm. It is rare to see a home this painstakingly restored and maintained.
The layout is both gracious and functional, with double parlors currently set as formal living and dining rooms, a cozy den, and a stunning gourmet kitchen that opens to a sunny breakfast room. The kitchen is outfitted with a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator and freezer drawers, marble countertops, and custom-milled cabinetry. In the breakfast room, an antique French fireplace mantel—wood-burning with a gas starter—adds the perfect touch of character.
The spacious first-floor primary suite includes a walk-in cedar closet and a marble-clad bath with an old world feel. The original gracefully curved staircase leads to two comfortable upstairs bedrooms with generous closets, and a lovely hall bath finished with antique marble. Off the den, a covered porch overlooks the private backyard and antique brick courtyard with a bubbling fountain. The deep lot offers ample room for a pool or gardens—a blank canvas ready for your vision. Off-street parking with a bricked driveway and electric gates adds convenience.
Fully restored by master craftsmen, with three recently replaced central HVAC systems, this home blends historic integrity with modern comfort. Just steps from the Marigny Opera House, Crescent Park, and some of the city's best restaurants, cafés, and galleries—with the French Quarter just a stone's throw away. A timeless New Orleans classic!
