6110 Marquette Place has the best of both worlds. It’s located in a prime Uptown location, one block off St. Charles Avenue and near Audubon Park. It’s also tucked away on a half-acre lot on a dead-end street, allowing the “stunning mansion to feel like a world unto its own – a private lush tropical paradise nestled within the heart of Uptown New Orleans,” said Eleanor Farnsworth, Realtor with Latter & Blum | Compass.
Farnsworth was the listing agent on the Dec. 30 transaction of 6110 Marquette Place, which sold for $2.9 million. The sales agent was Jansen Petagna, of FQR Realtors. The home, built in 1930 and restored and renovated throughout the years, features 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 8,185 square feet of living space.
“It is an extraordinary mansion with a lot of magnificent features throughout the property. The pool area is a true paradise with lushly landscaped park-like grounds, a slate patio with a spa, and a huge, heated pool, surrounded by brick patio, and a separate cabana with two bathrooms and a wet bar,” said Farnsworth.
The front of the home begins with a large circular driveway, and a spacious covered porch, studded with stalwart Tuscan columns. The entrance foyer boasts high ceilings, double crown moldings, a classic lantern, handsome millwork decorating the numerous archways, hardwood floors, and luminous transom windows surrounding the front door.
The foyer leads to a hall (10.3’ x 17.8’), which opens into an elegant, formal living room (25.8’ x 17.8’). Crown and ceiling moldings complement a pair of grand Doric columns framing the living room entrance. A chandelier paired with oversized windows illuminates the room.
The formal dining room features marble floors and measures 17.2’ x 17.2’. There is a library (12.5’ x 20.9’) with custom built-in bookshelves and a staircase. An expansive sunroom (52.8’ x 14.8’) occupies the rear of the first floor. The sunroom has walls of French doors that open onto the grounds. The terrace measures 55.2’ x 13.7’.
The chef’s kitchen (18.8’ x 27.3’) includes Stainless Steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking oven, GE dishwasher, and a Thermador professional cooktop with six burners and a grill. There are stone counters in the kitchen, and a large breakfast counter rounds out the room. A powder room off the front foyer completes the main floor of the home.
On the second floor, the primary suite area boasts a primary bedroom (15.0’ x 29.5’) with space for a sitting area, and a pair of French doors that open onto a balcony with views of the pool and grounds. There are also two separate marble bathrooms, a room of closets, plus a study (15.8’ x 16.8’). An adjoining room (14.4’ x 12.8’) could be used as a private room or fifth bedroom.
The second floor also includes three additional bedrooms (14.9’ x 15.4’; 14.4’ x 13.4’; 14.8’ x 15.6’), three full bathrooms, an office (9.84’ x 12’), and a separate laundry room (12’ x 10’).
