KEY TAKEAWAYS: 52 Mistletoe Drive in Covington led the week’s sales at $2.42 million. The Tchefuncta Estates home was previously owned by former Saints kicker Wil Lutz. 2027 Carondelet Street, built for Captain Leather, sold for $2.315 million. A newly built Old Metairie home at 245 Glenwood Drive sold for $2.11 million.   Commission: April 7-13 [see the SlideDeck] This week’s Commission Accomplished gives us a reason to mention Wil Lutz and Captain Leathers in the same sentence — which, admittedly, would have made for a pretty good football nickname for the former New Orleans Saints kicker. The highest-priced home sale in the Greater New Orleans area for the week of June 7-13 was 52 Mistletoe Drive, which sold for $2.42 million. The Covington luxury home in Tchefuncta Estates was previously owned by Lutz, who played six seasons for the Saints before reuniting with former coach Sean Payton and joining the Denver Broncos. One MLS photo shows a framed No. 3 Wil Lutz jersey displayed prominently in the dining room. The jersey is surrounded by NFL footballs, helmets and memorabilia built into the room’s shelving. A close second was 2027 Carondelet Street, a historic home that sold for $2.315 million and was originally built in 1859 for colorful businessman and steamboat captain, Captain Leathers. Rounding out the top three was 245 Glenwood Drive, a new construction home in Old Metairie that sold for $2.11 million. 52 Mistletoe Drive was built in 2023 in the gated Tchefuncta Estates subdivision. Crafted by Bluebird Development and Design, the French-modern, two-story luxury home features 6 bedrooms, 5½ bathrooms and 5,951 square feet of living space on 0.72 acres.

Leathers would often travel the New Orleans to Vicksburg route; in fact; the Natchez VI made more than 400 trips without accident – an accomplishment in an era with little or no safety regulations. Leathers’ historic mansion sits on a corner lot located one block from St. Charles Avenue. In 2012, the luxury home was restored to modern functionality while also maintaining original features. The two-story mansion features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 6,382 square feet of living space on a 133′ x 165′ lot. The renovations included the replacement of electrical systems, and new copper plumbing, along with four new HVAC systems. Additionally, a new roof was installed in 2024. The double gallery front porches with ornate scrolled ironwork lead to a front entrance flanked with stained glass. Inside, the grand center hall, which extends from the front door to the rear entry, is adorned with Baccarat Chandeliers and a carved staircase. The grand formal rooms – featuring 14′ ceilings – boast intricate crown molding, ornate plaster ceiling medallions, original gilded mirrors and chandeliers, floor to ceiling windows, plus wood floors and mantels. The large gourmet kitchen includes custom cabinets, a large center island topped with Italian marble, a dining area, a butler’s pantry, and a wet bar. The kitchen flows into a spacious den with a woodburning fireplace. The second floor houses a large upstairs landing, surrounded by four bedrooms and a laundry room. The primary bedroom features a sitting area with a gas fireplace, a custom-built, walk-in closet, and a marble bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub. Additionally, off the landing is an outdoor porch leading to a separate guest room with an en-suite bathroom. The house also has an elevator, mudroom, wine room, back porches, and gated parking for multiple cars. The side and rear yards have manicured gardens, which take up half of the city block. The grounds also include an 1,820-square-foot, two story carriage house that was renovated in 2020. Downstairs in the carriage house is a full eat-in kitchen, study, half bathroom, and a great room with French doors overlooking the garden and patio.
