Circa 1857, the James Gallier, Jr. designed Dabney House is considered one of the most important Greek Revival homes in all of New Orleans and boasts the classic proportions and fine craftsmanship one would expect. The house was built with fluted Corinthian columns and a rose-pattern cast-iron rail on the second floor with fluted Ionic columns below. Inside, the first floor details include 14 ft ceilings, heart of pine floors, original marble mantles & plaster medallions. Entertaining spaces include the double parlors, a recently renovated gourmet kitchen with Subzero fridge and separate freezer and a Wolf Range, a chic study, light filled sunroom opening to the gardens, and a bonus storage area/catering kitchen. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms including the primary suite with a lovely new bathroom. Across the front of the second floor is a glorious family room, with access to the upper gallery – perfect for parade watching! The yard includes charming gardens with slate patios, mature plantings, a lovely sugar kettle fountain and ample room for a pool. Two car covered parking is a rare treat in the Garden District and there is a large 1 bedroom/1.5 bath guest apartment, complete with a separate entrance. 24 hour private patrol. Documented by the Library of Congress, the Dabney House has been featured in multiple publications. This is truly grand living on one of the most beautiful streets in the world!
