Property Description

A masterpiece of Creole grandeur, 639 Esplanade is where the French Quarter meets the Marigny. Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a piece of living history on New Orleans' most prestigious residential promenade. Nestled under the ancient, moss-draped canopy of Esplanade Avenue, this magnificent home stands as a testament to the golden age of Creole architecture. This property is not merely a residence: it is a sanctuary of sophistication, offering an unparalleled lifestyle for the owner of historic properties. From the moment you approach the wrought-iron gates on the front, you are transported to a world of 19th-century elegance, seamlessly blended with the luxurious necessities of modern metropolitan living. Architectural splendor and historic integrity: the facade is a lesson in classical symmetry, boasting meticulous and expansive balconies that overlook the vibrant pulse of the city. Upon entering the foyer, guests are greeted by a soaring 13-foot ceiling adorned with very old, hand-carved medallions and intricate crown moldings. The finely finished wooden floors flow effortlessly through a double parlor designed for intimate entertaining. Massive old pocket doors in stripped wood allow for a fluid transition between the formal sitting room and the less formal bar area, both of which have many windows covered with twenty-first-century magnatite, allowing for a virtually SILENT interior on all three floors. The kitchen serves as the heart of this historic gem masterfully redesigned to satisfy the most demanding chef without compromising the home's heritage. Stainless steel appliances, a gas stove anchored by a casual breakfast area leading to a large and most valuable mudroom containing a back stairway as well as an exterior door leading to a covered parking area, grill, and seating area that provides a sunny and well-protected child/pet area. This home is for those with exquisite taste and a love of an active and convenient city life. A list of recent improvements is attached.
