1400 State St, New Orleans, LA 70118

Property Description

Offered for the first time, 1400 State Street is the personal vision of well-known and respected architect Tim Favrot. Built in 1984, the home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that makes it truly one of a kind. Set on a commanding 75 x 145 corner lot, it blends contemporary, modern, and traditional elements into a striking design that feels both bold and warm. A home created as much for gathering and entertaining as for everyday living.That distinction is felt the moment you walk through the door, where you are drawn into a dramatic atrium wth a soaring 27-foot ceiling. Beyond it, the oversized Great Room is anchored by a 5-foot gas and wood burning fireplace. Natural light and a connection to the outdoors were central to the original vision, with skylights woven throughout and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opening to the backyard, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.The first-floor primary suite offers the rare luxury of separate bathrooms and closets. Adjacent is a newly renovated office that provides exceptional flexibility as a guest or in-law suite, poolside cabana, or extension of the primary bedroom. Continuing through the home, the kitchen was renovated in 2013 and features custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the bright and spacious dining room, where elegant arched windows frame views of the private courtyard and State Street. A solid brass staircase railing leads upstairs to two generous bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet. Spacious walk-out attics off each bedroom offer exciting potential for an additional bedroom, bathroom, or storage. Outdoors, the experience continues with a large pool surrounded by private, beautifully landscaped grounds. Practical comforts are equally impressive, with a climate-controlled garage, off-street parking for 6+ cars, and a one-year-old whole-home generator. 1400 State Street offers architectural grandeur and a remarkable sense of space while maintaining an unmistakable warmth. Set on an exceptionally large lot in one of the city’s most sought-after locations, it is a rare opportunity to own a home of this scale, character, and architectural significance.
