1021 Orleans Avenue

Description

Step into this exquisitely preserved circa-1880s French Creole / French Provincial residence, where authentic New Orleans architecture meets timeless elegance. The interior is defined by soaring ceilings, original heart-pine floors, and refined period detailing throughout. Gracious living and dining rooms feature ornate crown moldings and medallions, beautiful windows, and richly finished ceilings, a hallmark of late-19th-century craftsmanship. Exposed brick chimney walls anchor the spaces, each centered by decorative wood mantels, offering additional warmth and architectural charm. The traditional double parlor floor plan, separated by pocket doors, creates seamless flow between rooms, enhancing both light and openness while preserving historic proportions. Custom draperies, substantial millwork, and period-inspired lighting complement the home’s original features without compromising authenticity. Masonry construction, thick walls, and thoughtful restoration reflect the durability and artistry of the era, while modern comforts are discreetly integrated for today’s lifestyle. Every detail speaks to the home’s heritage, from the refined finishes to the intimate scale that defines classic French Quarter living. There are multiple guest suites in the dependency structures. These are accessible through the side gate, allowing the main house to remain private. Located in Flood Zone X
