1877 Italianate-Style New Orleans Cottage

This classic New Orleans home offers historic charm, fanciful opulence and a front porch to-die-for. True to the Italianate style of architecture, ornate cornices and brackets frame the roofline, windows and doorway, and it’s all topped off with a stately cupola on the roof. The grand interior showcases soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces and many elegant-yet-whimsical touches.
