About this home
If this house is calling to you, it’s because you’re done postponing the life you want in New Orleans.
You’ve circled the idea long enough. You know the city, you know yourself, and you know when something real shows up.
This stretch of Esplanade doesn’t offer many single-family homes anymore, and intact ballrooms are almost unheard of. But here she is — the Middle Sister still standing, waiting for you.
Upstairs, the primary suite sits in the live oaks has a sitting room and two full baths. The downstairs primary offers options, a den or flex space, and more.
The long entry hall pulls you toward a ballroom that feels less like a room and more like a realization: you’re finally ready for more life in your life. For hosting and cocooning. For something old, true, and unpretentious.
You can also look forward to a full additional guest suite with kitchen, private balcony, and courtyard views.
History buffs? This home was commissioned by Hopkins, the son of the owner of Gentilly Plantation, who found a career working as an agent for the Baroness Pontalba following the Civil War. He commissioned Harrod - a civil engineer- as its architect, a man famous for his contributions to designing the city's infrastructure in the 19th century, including roads and drainage. This home was built to hold life and stand strong.
Owning her isn’t about grandeur.
It’s about continuation — like polishing a piece of old silver because it deserves the attention.
You’ve been waiting.
So has she.
And if the only thought rising in you is,
I’m ready to dive,
then you already know.
Gated parking. Roof 2019. Private courtyard front AND back. Full single-family home. Furnishings available for purchase.
