1100 City Park Avenue

Some houses have a history. This one has a cast of characters. A business tycoon. An heiress. A bachelor. Eleven children under one roof. Perhaps even a silent-film star. And somewhere among the 120 years of stories, a hidden speakeasy. (Yes, really. You'll have to come see.) Welcome to Roxy on the Park. Built in 1905, this extraordinary residence occupies a substantial parcel directly across from New Orleans City Park—1,300 acres of live oaks, lagoons, gardens, museums, and unexpected adventures. More than 50% larger than Central Park, and practically your front yard. Café Du Monde is across the avenue, Ralph's on the Park is just down the street, and oak-canopied Allard Boulevard offers a glimpse of a New Orleans many visitors never discover. Behind Roxy's grand façade lies a house that has never been particularly interested in being ordinary. Soaring reception spaces, stained glass, a magnificent veranda, a sunroom overlooking the oaks, and rooms that seem to reveal themselves one after another. Art Deco bathrooms retain their period tilework. The kitchen tells a distinctly midcentury story. And the house's remarkable scale offers something increasingly difficult to find: room for generations, gatherings, collections, creativity, and whatever comes next. Roxy is move-in ready, with significant investment already made in the less glamorous but essential work of caring for a historic home, including mechanical systems. A detailed Buyer Confidence Report, incorporating inspection history, recent pre-listing inspection findings, and documented improvements, is available upon request.
