About 1 Merlin Ln
This exceptional 4.5-acre estate, located inside the floodwall and bordering Jean Lafitte Park, offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural sophistication, and proximity to downtown New Orleans. Designed by acclaimed architect William Sonner, this Georgian-style manor blends historic charm with modern functionality and luxurious updates. The stately red-brick exterior is framed by soaring columns, symmetrical windows, and a classic balcony overlooking the moss filled trees. The dramatic center-hall layout welcomes you into a grand foyer featuring hand-painted Louisiana bayou murals and a custom sky ceiling. Throughout the home, rich crown molding, polished concrete downstairs and original hardwood floors upstairs, and soaring ceilings create an atmosphere of elegance and warmth. The formal living room is highlighted by a bold green palette, an ornate wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that lead to an expansive columned porch overlooking a large built-in pool. A second living space, designed as a library or office, features deep blue accent walls and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, ideal both work and relaxation. The chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with oversized stainless steel appliances, exposed brick, ample counter space, and an oversized butler’s pantry that also serves as a full bar for entertaining. The kitchen opens directly onto the rear porch, providing seamless indoor-outdoor flow for gatherings. All bedrooms are en suite, offering generous proportions, spa-inspired bathrooms, and peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. Recent improvements include a fully insulated attic, updated exhaust systems in all bathrooms, and structural enhancements throughout the property. The detached garage accommodates up to nine vehicles and has been upgraded to support a variety of uses including a workshop, storage space, or collector’s showcase. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature citrus trees, private gates and fences, a shaded patio area, and seasonal blooms that enhance the estate’s curb appeal and livability. The property sits on a quiet, sweeping corner lot framed by mature oak trees, offering tranquility and space just minutes from the city's core. Floor plan and survey are available. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an estate that combines timeless Southern architecture with exceptional convenience and livability.
