About This Home

THE ARLINGTON MANSION| A masterpiece of Southern grandeur, The Arlington Mansion spans an entire city block along storied Esplanade Ridge—its Greek Revival façade rising behind wrought-iron gates like a love letter to 19th-century New Orleans. Built in 1860 and magnificently restored, this historic residence once belonged to famed entrepreneur and Storyville Madame Josie Arlington, later welcoming musical legends from Stevie Wonder to The Rolling Stones. Beyond its stately doric fluted columns and double galleries, interiors unfold in a symphony of artistry—14-foot ceilings, intricate plaster medallions and a grand staircase that sweeps upward to sun-filled suites and a serene studio once used as the music room. The former service wing now houses two private apartments with outdoor space, perfect for guests or creative retreat. Outside, lush gardens and towering oaks frame intimate entertaining terraces, a culinary courtyard fragrant with herbs and a saltwater pool shimmering beside the six-car carriage house. From City Park to Jazz Fest, the pulse of New Orleans is just beyond the gate—yet within these walls, time stands still in perfect elegance.
