330 VINCENT AVE Metairie, LA 70005

Behind ivy-covered brick walls on Vincent Avenue, this French Norman home is a private retreat right in Metairie Club Gardens. Designed in 1939 by architect Douglas Freret for his own family, the house carries a story in every detail while offering the comfort and flow of modern living.
Inside, the spaces are both formal and welcoming. The living room features marble floors reclaimed from the 1830s Charity Hospital, while the library is lined with warm cypress and antique heart pine underfoot. With Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Wolf range, a walnut island, and quartz counters, the kitchen delivers modern elegance and opens into a mirrored greenhouse.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a haven with its own office, a walk-in closet, and a spacious bath. The guest suite has a touch of history too, with exposed brick from an old fireplace. The third-floor bedroom, reached by a spiral staircase, is a cozy lookout with dormer windows on every side. Each bedroom has its own full bath, plus there is an additional half bath for guests.
The courtyard is the heart of the property. Manicured boxwoods lead to a 19th-century royal lion head fountain, and the brickwork, from Blair Bricks in the 1930s, is beautifully preserved. Add in the oversized pool, and it's easy to imagine both quiet mornings and elegant gatherings.
Set on Vincent Avenue in Metairie Club Gardens, the home is surrounded by stately residences and a canopy of trees. Within walking distance of Metairie Country Club, Country Day, and shops on Metairie Road, this home is in impeccable condition, full of character, and offers both refined entertaining as well as your place of calm.
