What lies hidden behind the old walls in the French Quarter is always intriguing. This circa 1830’s home has everything life has to offer in the French Quarter, privacy, parking, courtyards and a swimming pool. Located in the heart of the French Quarter this intimate home was totally renovated in 1998, adding a two story wing along the back of the property transforming what an L was shaped home to a U shape. The house surrounds a rear courtyard accessible on three sides from living quarters. It’s perfect for entertaining since everything flows from indoors to outdoors. Decorated in antiques this designer’s home has a decadent flair of New Orleans that you can’t find any where else. The decor combines French 40’s with Moroccan and ethnic touches.

The rooms are large and open, a multiple-use den instantly converts to a theatre with a state-of-the-art sound system and a screen sliding down from the ceiling. The kitchen mixes design cultures with Moroccan tile floor, Italian marble table and French bookcase in gothic style. Two-toned hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms form a direction in a room that you don’t normally have with a solid color floor. This expands and ties the rooms together and adds a bit of punch. Paintings by Hunt Slonem and Brian Borrello help compliment the rooms. Two large master suites each with balconies over looking courtyards flank each side of this spacious home. The suites contain large marble bathrooms, one with a whirlpool tub and walk in closets.
