Steeped in local lore, the LaLaurie Mansion stands as a pinnacle of historical significance and architectural grandeur in the heart of New Orleans' Vieux Carre. This Empire Style antebellum masterpiece seamlessly blends period details with modern comforts and was curated to elevate every corner of its expanse. Upon entering the main house, one is greeted by double parlors, a billiard room, a guest room suite, and a 2000-bottle wine cellar. Ascending the spiral central stairwell to the second floor reveals another set of double parlors, a powder room, a grand dining room, and a spacious kitchen. The highlight is the enormous wrap-around gallery/balcony accessible from original triple-hung windows, offering views that embody New Orleans' old world charm. The third floor hosts three luxurious bedroom suites, including a striking red lacquered primary suite featuring a speakeasy accessible through a hidden bathroom door. Experience unparalleled 360-degree views of the city from a rare private French Quarter roof top deck. Adding to its allure, the mansion includes servant wings with two independent apartments and two more bedroom suites, one currently serving as a sizable home office. At the heart of the property lies a quintessential French Quarter brick courtyard, providing a serene oasis for outdoor relaxation while ensuring utmost privacy. Off-street garage parking with ample space for two large vehicles further enhances convenience, secured by an electric gate on Governor Nicholls Street, allowing for both ease of access and peace of mind in one of the city's most storied locales. Whether for historical intrigue or contemporary luxury, the LaLaurie Mansion invites discerning buyers to experience a unique blend of past and present in the heart of New Orleans.
