1630 Palmer Av , New Orleans

Stunning private mansion built in 1909 by renowned New Orleans architect Emile Weil, this distinguished residence blends historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates, steps away from St. Charles and Audubon Park. A tree-lined walkway leads through lush landscaped gardens framed by hand-wrought ironwork to double entry gates inspired by the coat of arms above the home. The ironwork was hand-forged by one of New Orleans’ last practicing blacksmiths.
The entry foyer features a hand-painted ceiling, grand staircase, and banquette seating overlooking Palmer Ave. Designed for entertaining, the first floor flows naturally between its principal spaces. The living room is anchored by a marble mantel, while the dining room features a marble fireplace. The solarium offers white marble floors and a mirrored wall.
The gourmet kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, wine cooler, and wet bar. Two exquisite powder rooms on the first floor are perfect for entertaining.
Second floor offers two bedrooms, sitting room, dressing room, library, and two spacious bathrooms. The primary bedroom connects to a private bath and dressing room, with access to the library through the bathroom or hall. Beyond the library/study is an exquisite green marble bathroom leading to a spacious walk-in closet. An upstairs kitchen and laundry add convenience.
Front and back staircases and elevator to basement.
Extensively updated with rewiring, plumbing, ductwork, and HVAC. A full-house generator, dehumidifier in basement, copper gutters, and terracotta roof provide modern functionality while preserving the character of this 1909 residence. Exceptional chandeliers from around the world in nearly every room, built-ins, polished wood floors, and restored architectural details complete the home. Gated off-street parking for four cars. A rare opportunity!
