814 SAINT PHILIP Street

Set in the residential section of the Vieux Carré, 814 Saint Philip is a nineteenth century Italianate masonry townhouse that redefines the standard for historic luxury. Spanning three levels, this residence offers a rare combination of museum-quality preservation with parking amenities virtually unparalleled in the neighborhood. A soaring side-hall foyer anchors the first floor, leading to a suite of rooms designed for grand-scale entertaining. Original marble mantels, heart-of-pine floors, handcrafted plaster medallions and plaster crown moldings provide historic elegance in the grand living and dining rooms, which are bathed in natural light from a series of tall windows. The first floor then extends into a substantial rear wing, housing a chef’s kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry, and a sun-lit breakfast area. A custom wet bar and butler’s pantry serve as the bridge to the outdoors, opening onto a private brick courtyard. A powder room is also ideally situated on this level for guests. While the first floor is an entertainer’s dream, the home’s upper levels serve as quiet sanctuaries for rest and relaxation. On the second level, you’ll find a sprawling primary suite and two additional bedrooms, including a spectacular front-facing suite that opens onto an ironwork balcony. The back bedroom and bonus room are thoughtfully separated from the front quarters to afford maximum privacy and provide a perfect footprint for a media room or home office with its own access to the courtyard-facing balcony. The third level offers another magnificent bedroom suite, a true private retreat featuring walk-in closets, an ensuite bath, and a rear window affording striking views of the city skyline. The seller possesses a portfolio of four parking spaces in a gated lot adjacent to the property, which can be purchased separately by the purchaser of the home. Experience the rare luxury of 814 Saint Philip—where storied history meets a modern standard of convenience.
