As seen in VERANDA magazine. Built in 1848, this Classical Revival center hall villa occupies a rare triple lot in the heart of the Garden District beneath majestic live oaks. Recently reimagined and furnished by acclaimed designer Ware Porter, the nearly 9,000-square-foot residence was conceived for living beautifully and entertaining effortlessly—a place where guests can “come early and stay late.” A broad covered gallery opens to a 45-foot center hall anchored by a grand mahogany staircase. Soaring 14' ceilings, original pine floors, exquisite plaster moldings, ornate medallions, & marble mantels distinguish the double parlors & formal dining room. Across the hall, one of the home’s great signatures awaits: a custom billiard room and bar lacquered in deep British racing green, with mahogany millwork, vintage lighting, and commercial grade equipment. Featured prominently in VERANDA, the bar was designed as the social heart of the house and evokes the glamour & intimacy of a great European hotel bar. Beyond the dining room, the kitchen features updated cabinetry, stone counters, and appliances, including a striking LaCanche range. The adjoining family room opens to a covered rear gallery overlooking the pool & gardens, while a library offers an intimate retreat. The main-floor primary suite includes a bedroom, custom dressing room and closet, private laundry, & luxurious bath. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, two full baths, & a second laundry. The lower level offers a media room, studio apartment with kitchen and private entrance, and storage. Outside, lush grounds surround a French Quarter-inspired pool, expansive lawn, mature plantings, & multiple entertaining spaces. Gated off-street parking completes the property. Offered turnkey and fully furnished with very limited exclusions, this extraordinary residence combines architectural integrity, personality, and joie de vivre—a fully realized New Orleans lifestyle created for bringing people together.
