About this home
Timeless Grandeur Meets Modern Elegance in the Heart of the French Quarter
Step into a rare piece of New Orleans history—this exquisite Greek Revival townhouse, built in 1835, masterfully blends 19th-century charm with refined modern living. Impeccably preserved and beautifully updated, this home offers a luxurious single-family layout with additional guest residences—ideal for entertaining, hosting, or extended family living.
The main floor welcomes you with graceful double parlors, united by an original 1830s mahogany banister and crowned by antique chandeliers adorned with Lalique crystals. Gold-leaf mirrors above each fireplace reflect the light and elegance of a bygone era. The original cornice woodwork artfully separates the formal living and dining spaces, adding architectural depth and authenticity.
A chef-inspired kitchen, reimagined with solid wood Legacy cabinetry, provides both functionality and style. The adjoining family entertainment room opens to a lush garden courtyard—perfect for al fresco dining and gatherings.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a tranquil retreat, complete with a spacious bedroom, an intimate sitting room, and a private balcony overlooking the historic French Quarter. A comfortable guest room completes this level.
At the rear of the property, connected via exterior stairs, are three beautifully appointed guest suites—each featuring its own kitchen and living area. Thoughtfully designed and offered fully furnished, these residences include charming details such as antique washstand vanities, Legacy cabinetry, and reclaimed fleur-de-lis floor tiles sourced from an English cathedral.
Every window and balcony frames sweeping views of the French Quarter—bringing the soul of the city into your everyday life.
