A home with a sense of contemporary style that's spiced with midcentury modern sensibilities is on the market for $1,550,000 in the Fauboug Marigny.

The 2017 home, at 641 St. Ferdinand St. in New Orleans, was designed in a style similar to the owner's previous home, which originally was designed by John Ekin Dinwiddie, dean of Tulane University's architecture school in the late '50s.

The walls of maple paneling in the Marigny house are also featured in the previous home, as well as a corrugated exterior.

The style of the steel-framed structure fits well into the neighborhood, reminiscent of the many warehouses and storage buildings common in the sector. It sits on three separate lots, forming an L-shaped property on a corner that's just steps from the Mississippi River and the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts.

Inside, modern conveniences are fitted into the midcentury mystique. Three bedrooms and 3½ baths are artfully laid out in the 2,385 square feet of polished concrete floors.

An expansive living area, lit with clerestory windows, glows with polished maple and exposed beams, with barn-door style closures for floor-length windows. A marble fireplace is prominent on the paneled wall. The windows are all 135 mph wind rated.

The open kitchen features quartzite counters with contrasting cobalt cabinetry and stainless appliances. An adjacent dining area has a wall of windows overlooking the gardens and an entertaining area.

An angled hall with a half bath leads to the bedroom and office areas. The primary bedroom, with more clerestory windows, has a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath.

The two additional bedrooms in the home feature en suite baths as well.

The gardens and exterior spaces, complete with a koi pond, provide a plethora of options for entertaining, as well as optimal spots for displaying sculptural art. The walled gardens provide privacy as well as off-street parking.

The home is listed by Ryan Wentworth of Rêve Realtors, (504) 302-0300. ryanwentworth.com.
