221-23 Pelican Avenue

A truly special offering in Algiers Point, this thoughtfully and fully restored Victorian legacy property, featured in Architectural Digest and HBO’s Diary of an Old House, blends historic character with refined, design-forward living. You arrive just as the light begins to soften, the home’s pink façade and green shutters catching the glow of the afternoon. Stepping inside, the grand main house immediately opens with a sense of volume and ease — soaring 13-foot ceilings, antique fixtures, and a layout that feels both impressive and immensely livable. The spaces flow naturally from one to the next, inviting quiet mornings, relaxed afternoons, and evenings that unfold without effort. Designed with the most discerning buyer in mind, the main residence offers 3 gracious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, centered around a gourmet kitchen that anchors the home as a place to gather. As the day continues, life moves outdoors. Doors open to a classic New Orleans courtyard where dinners begin intimately and linger long into the evening. Beyond, the rare double lot reveals something unexpected — open green space, mature trees, and a sense of privacy and calm that feels removed from the city, yet entirely connected to it. Tucked quietly behind, the carriage house offers its own retreat — a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary set behind a secure fence, with a fairytale garden and private patio. It also offers proven income-producing potential, adding both flexibility and long-term value. Located in the heart of Algiers Point, the home enjoys a highly walkable setting with a curated selection of beloved local restaurants, bars, and everyday conveniences just steps away, including Congregation Coffee Roasters across the street. Mornings begin with coffee just outside your door, afternoons unfold in nearby parks, and the Algiers Ferry offers a direct and scenic connection to the French Quarter and CBD. This unique offering comes unfurnished or with an option for furniture and art.
