Color Blocking French Quarter Home with Lush Courtyard Gets Another Price Chop

Was: $2,475,000
Now: $2,249,000
You save: $226,000

Since hitting the market in April, this Queen Anne-style French Quarter home has seen three price drops — when it first hit the market it was asking $2,538,000. Why someone hasn't moved quickly to snap up that super-lush courtyard, we'll never know. Leading up to the courtyard is a tree-lined driveway wide enough for so many luxury vehicles, and the balcony gives you a wonderful view of your tropical paradise. Rooms in the 4,062-square-foot home are painted in bold colors, like the jungle green living and dining room and a kitchen whose walls and cabinets are clay red. Other details include stained glass windows, ornate fireplace mantles and ceiling medallions, and floor-to-ceiling book shelves.
