About this home
Welcome to the historic Xiques Home formerly known as "The Lion House", a stunning Greek Revival masterpiece in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter. Formerly owned by Angel Xiques of Cádiz, Spain, this exquisite property features 10 bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, making it an ideal multi-unit residence, wedding and events venue or a luxurious private home.
Step onto the grand front gallery from the curved stairways and admire the elegant Corinthian columns & wrought iron railings that define the architectural style. As you enter the foyer, you are greeted with a rare raised center hallway, a feature found in only two other homes in the French Quarter, and adds to its unique charm. The premier étage boasts two spacious living quarters, each with its own full bathroom and shared living rooms, perfect for both guests and family.
The converted attic (garret) includes two additional living quarters, each equipped with full kitchens and convenient washer and dryer units. The exterior back stairs lead to the former servants quarters, showcasing custom wooden arches and exposed brickwork, all overlooking a serene common courtyard & fountain.
With 8 off-street parking spaces and secure iron gates for the private driveway, this home offers the utmost privacy and convenience. Architectural legend J.N.B. de Pouilly, known for designing the St. Louis Cathedral, is rumored to have crafted this stunning residence, making it a true gem in the New Orleans landscape. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history!
