A restored Queen Anne Italianate mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana is listed at $2.2 million.
The St. Charles Avenue mansion is featured by WDSU News as their Mansion Monday listing. The three-story home was originally built in 1880 and was remodeled in 2002. Although the property has gone some renovation, it has restored its Queen Anne Italianate feel.
The home's exterior is every bit a 19th-century grand mansion while the interior is a perfect mix of the timeless traditional and contemporary designs. The home is not lacking of rich-colored walls complemented with 16-foot high ceilings and hardwood flooring.
A grand staircase connects the main level to the second floor. The main house has a total of seven bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen is spacious and sunshiny with its light-colored walls and white custom-made cabinetry. A modest kitchen island with a sink sits at one side of the room, while a small dining table on the other end balances the view. The chandeliers hanging on the ceiling are the most eccentric lightings of the home.
Apart from the striking bedrooms, this Victorian-style mansion has a few additional rooms, some of which look classic while others are more modern. The huge family room on the main level has old-fashioned ceiling fans and a combination of an intricate sofa and modern couches.
According to the listing, the entire third floor of the property is used as a two-bedroom apartment at present. The rooms in this level are more contemporary than the other two floors. A zebra-print carpet covers most of the hardwood flooring in the living area of the third floor, while the ceiling is painted with black to give a good contrast to the light-colored walls.
The restored home has a separate guest house, an outdoor entertainment area, and a car garage for four vehicles. The owner has listed this magnificent 135-year-old piece of real estate through Gardner Realtors.
