Property Description
Nestled on the picturesque corner of Laurel and Foucher Street, this breathtaking 1893 Queen Anne Victorian, 2-story home with wraparound side porch is a rare architectural gem in the coveted Uptown New Orleans Historic District. Enclosed from the street by a graceful 6-foot iron fence and framed by both cypress and magnolia trees, the property offers an unmatched sense of privacy while being just a short stroll from the vibrant energy of Magazine Street's top-tier restaurants, galleries, boutiques and so much more.
This remarkable residence showcases 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms across 2,948 square feet of carefully maintained living space. Adding to the property's allure is a detached cottage including 1BR/1BATH with custom cabinetry, making for a lovely guest house or studio. Period details abound — from soaring 12.5-foot ceilings with beautifully preserved plaster medallions and large pocket doors to the original heart pine floors, cypress doors, paneling & trim. The house also retains its original hardware and sash weighted windows. Property offers a private driveway and carport with electronic gate to comfortably accommodate three to four vehicles — a rare find in this sought-after neighborhood. Adjacent, detached shed includes storage and laundry area. Every room tells a story, from original transoms & stained-glass windows to ornate cast iron fireplaces/carved mantels & handcrafted cypress millwork—this property boasts deep historical roots. One of the home's many quintessential features is the ornately etched “L” on the leaded glass front door panel, a nod to former owners and the family of 1920s Hollywood starlet Dorothy Lamour (surname Lambour).
Tasteful updates over the years seamlessly blend mid-century modern flair with Victorian elegance. French doors open to a private rear deck— great for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Central A/C and heat throughout. Zoned HU-RD2. The property's timeless allure paired with its rich cultural history, makes for a one-of-a-kind residence that is so much more than just a home — it's a living piece of the city's distinctive legacy and culture. Don't miss your chance to own a masterfully preserved and iconic piece of New Orleans history!
