Deep in Decatur, there is a massive mansion unlike any other near it. Overlooking West Ponce, just a brisk walk from the city’s magnificent eateries and pubs, is the Rose Hill and Gardens estate.
A $2.25 million listing, the mansion is rightfully gorgeous. Four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and a bevy of other spaces fill its 5,618 square foot abode. It’s historically inspired, filled with amenities and ready to be purchased.
According to the listing, the home was completed in 2003 but has since been updated with more modern offerings. A “swanky top of the line bathroom with spa-styled shower and luxury hotel soaking tub” is just one of the many features within the home. While the amenities are wonderful, the home’s wood finishes are what set its aesthetic apart from the rest.
“The interior is freshly painted shades of gray to afford a soothing simple pallet and to showcase the stunning crisp white woodwork,” the listing said. “Arches everywhere achieve an old world elegance further enhanced by a wrap around double veranda porch with oversized magnificent New Orleans flicker flame gas coach lights flanking the foyer entrance.”
It’s a landmark of luxury that has a lot more to offer.
“The heart and soul of the home is a white chef’s kitchen and open floorplan featuring a floating fireplace within a central freestanding copper chimney,” the listing said. “The 2 sided fireplace faces a TV area on one side and a bright sun-room styled keeping room on the other that overlooks a French Quarter pool and brick garden walled private rear yard. Garden District inspired front landscape design offers year round color and fantastic palm trees set the mood for a festive and distinctly deep Creole southern flavor. The main floor is such a manageable size for one level living with what feels like a second home upstairs with two sitting rooms and three bedroom suites.”
