About this home
For the visionary buyer who has long dreamed of a French Quarter fixer with impeccable bones, noted interior designer Ken Fulk has already imagined the home honoring its historic integrity while elevating its romance. Floor plans and design renderings are available, offering a rare head start on a truly iconic transformation.
The residence features three bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath, anchored by a grand salon and chef’s kitchen. Offered for the first time ever, this is more than a home, it is an invitation to restore, reimagine, and leave a lasting mark on the French Quarter.
Inside, authentic architectural details evoke a bygone era: soaring 12-foot ceilings, hand-pulled plaster moldings, sculptural fireplace mantels, Zuber & Cie French wall coverings, marble window sills, and hand-painted murals by Paul Czainski, all centered around a secluded, storybook courtyard.
A gentle Mississippi River breeze drifts across the wraparound gallery, setting the tone for a life steeped in atmosphere and tradition.
A Rare French Quarter Canvas.
