The Centanni Home

In a city replete with unique and stunning architecture, it is only the most distinctive and elegant of homes that consistently evoke special passion and delight from the local population.  The Centanni Home is such a property.

Designed by H. Jordan MacKenzie and completed in 1917, the Centanni Home represents a range of styles including Prairie, California Bungalow Mansion, Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau, all beautifully melded throughout the interior and exterior.  During the past two years, the home was artfully restored with the finest of craftsmanship and spectacular attention to detail.

Mahogany wainscoting and quarter-sawn oak floors grace the entire home.  Period stained glass is incorporated throughout, as are banks of multi-paneled windows, coffered ceilings and toadstool light fixtures.

The glazed terracotta and tile roof is distinctive, beautiful and practical.  The original elevator remains as well as numerous other original features.

Amenities of the Centanni Home include:

• Brick with stone accents
• Seven bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath
• Approximately 5,890 sq. ft. of living area
• Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
• Formal living and dining rooms, family/entertainment room, den office, sunroom, exercise room and workshop
• Modern kitchen appliances, period bath fixtures

The Centanni Home's rich history includes being named "Home of Tomorrow" in 1934 by the leading local trade organization.  New Orleanians of the 1940's to the 1960's will also remember the lavish holiday decorations displayed on the home that would cause traffic to back up for blocks.  This property is truly a New Orleans treasure.
