Lenny Kravitz Lists New Orleans Cottage

Filed under: Decor, Estates, Celebrity Shopping, Celebrity Design, Architecture & Design

We've admired Lenny Kravitz's decorating style in a couple of his former dwellings including his New York condo and his Miami house. Had the Real Estalker not clued us into the fact that this was Lenny's lair we might have guessed it (and not just from the strategically placed guitar resting against the very shiny leather couch). Kravitz loves design so much that he has his own design firm (Kravitz Design of course) and has worked on rock-and-roll themed projects like the recording studio at the Setai Miami Beach. He also has a line of wallpaper.

Kravitz's cottage measures a modest 1,725 square feet and has a single bedroom. The Real Estalker reports that he picked up the 220-year-old French Quarter cottage way back in 1994 for $360,000. Kravitz created a dramatic main living space with gleaming hardwood floors, a Lucite grand piano that once belonged to Ingrid Bergman, silvered wallpaper and a massive portrait of Billie Holiday. There is a small sleeping loft for guests and a modest patio out back. This home is listed at $775,000 with French Quarter Realty.

Our friends at Move Trends have pointed out another sports star home on the market. Baron Davis, the NBA All-Star player for the Los Angeles Clippers, picked up a New Orleans home during his time with the Charlotte Hornets when the Hornets moved from Charlotte to New Orleans. His seven-bedroom New Orleans home was once featured on the MTV Cribs show and has its own media room with recording studio and a lavish master suite. The home has a landscaped front garden, secluded pool and an additional third-floor apartment with its own kitchen. The home had a $150,000 price cut in recent weeks and is now listed at $1.7 million.

I know, it's hurricane season once again but check out this beautiful New Orleans home. It was built around 1913 and designed by architect Emile Weil. The home is full of vintage details (the ornate windows alone are stunning). The home is located on a private and gated street off of St. Charles Ave. and has its own pool. The master suite has an elaborate marble bathroom. This home is listed at $4.5 million. After the jump, the perfect setting to read an Anne Rice novel.
