520 NASHVILLE AVE New Orleans, LA 70115

Shaded by majestic, centuries-old live oak trees, this remarkable Uptown residence offers a rare opportunity to own a true New Orleans compound—an inspired fusion of a circa 1869 Creole cottage and a stunning 2-story addition by architect William Sonner. Set on a beautifully landscaped double lot with off-street parking, it is ideally located within walking distance to shopping, dining, and Whole Foods on Magazine Street, as well as Audubon Park. Designed for multi-generational living, the home can be easily configured into distinct, self-contained quarters while maintaining elegant flow.




Light-filled interiors include elegant double-parlors, formal dining room, and a fully appointed kitchen with custom cypress cabinets, Thermador appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The expansive great room features a soaring vaulted ceiling of reclaimed cypress, a wood burning Louis XV fireplace, and late 18th C. French terracotta floors. Just off the great room, a second kitchen/wet bar with cypress cabinetry and stainless steel appliances offers excellent entertaining capacity. French doors open to verdant gardens with multiple options for pool placement, if desired.




The home offers 3 private bedroom suites plus a 4th bedroom or study. The first-floor primary suite is a tranquil retreat with a renovated bath featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Two upstairs suites include one with a large private balcony overlooking treetops. The downstairs guest bedroom/study showcases a circa 1820 fireplace mantel with a wood-burning fireplace. Additional highlights include wide-plank wood floors and ceilings, antique fireplaces, slate and copper roofs, a travertine-paved front courtyard with antique fountain, 4 independent HVAC systems, and abundant storage.
