Description

Morning coffee on a gingerbread porch under century-old oaks. Evenings in a string-lit courtyard. This is life on Ursulines Avenue, one of New Orleans’ most beautiful streets, in historic Faubourg St. John.This classic 3-bay side-hall Victorian camelback offers 12-ft ceilings, original pine floors, full-length windows, transoms, and original decorative fireplaces. A long side hall passes the formal living room and primary bedroom and opens into a spacious dining room–den. The kitchen features exposed brick, a gas range, and a Bosch dishwasher. The spa bath is a showpiece: handmade blue tile, Calacatta Corchia marble, a double vanity, and brass fixtures. A second full bath features a clawfoot tub, and a sunroom with hand-painted harlequin floors opens to the deck. Upstairs, the camelback bedroom is a private retreat with its own gallery.Across the courtyard, the renovated 275-square-foot detached cottage—not included in the home’s 2,071 square feet of living area—has a vaulted beamed ceiling, Zellige tile, Taj Mahal quartzite, a full bath plus powder room, and a sleeping loft. It offers flexible use as a guest suite, studio, or home office.New roofs for the main house and cottage are scheduled for installation. The home also has newer mini-splits and gated off-street parking. Walk to Bayou St. John, City Park, and the Fair Grounds for Jazz Fest.
