Single Family Residence In New Orleans

Rare chance to restore a home designed by prominent New Orleans architect Thomas Sully in the heart of the Lower Garden District on a 45x128 lot. Featured in The Times-Picayune/[hidden information]’s 2023 Inside Out cover story, “Four in a Row: Turn-of-the-century homes reflect architect Sully’s eclectic styling,” this distinctive residence is one of four neighboring Sully-designed homes highlighted for their shared architectural history. Sully—whose celebrated New Orleans work includes the Columns Hotel and landmark Hennen Building—was one of the city’s important architects of his era. The home retains wonderful period details, including a striking original stairway, stained glass, decorative fireplaces, soaring ceilings, generously scaled rooms and pine flooring believed to be original in several rooms on both levels. Its gracious proportions are complemented by a flexible two-level layout with kitchens on both floors, separate upstairs access, separate electric meters serving each level, and driveway parking. The generous floor plan also offers potential to create an additional bedroom or home office as part of the renovation. Currently recognized by the City as a single-family residence and zoned HU-RD2, offering potential for future two-family use subject to City approval and buyer verification. Set among the tree-lined streets of the Lower Garden District, convenient to Coliseum Square, Magazine Street’s restaurants, shops and cafés, and the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, the location offers an exceptional combination of architecture, history and New Orleans lifestyle. The property needs renovation, but therein lies the opportunity—to thoughtfully restore a Thomas Sully-designed home and bring an important piece of New Orleans architectural history into its next chapter. Offered below its January 2026 appraised value.
