A Celebrity-Owned Estate in the Heart of the Garden District
Actor John Goodman has listed his historic New Orleans mansion for $5.5 million. Located at 2425 Coliseum Street, the home sits in the city’s prestigious Garden District, known for its oak-lined streets and antebellum architecture. The estate offers a rare mix of heritage, privacy, and celebrity appeal.
Architectural Elegance with Modern Comforts
Originally built in the 1850s, the mansion combines Italianate and Greek Revival design across 4,950 square feet. Inside, the home features four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, with ornate ceiling medallions, marble mantels, and a grand central staircase anchoring the layout.
The chef’s kitchen includes quartzite counters, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry. Hand-painted hardwood floors, oversized windows, and 13-foot ceilings give the home a timeless character while offering modern comfort.
Lush Outdoor Amenities
Set on a .29-acre lot, the home includes a saltwater pool, covered veranda, private courtyard, and gated parking with a detached garage. Mature landscaping, including ancient Crepe Myrtles, adds to the estate’s serene ambiance.
Nearly Two Decades of Ownership
Goodman purchased the property in 2005 for $1.8 million from musician Trent Reznor. He and his wife, Anna Beth, have lived there for nearly 20 years. The decision to list the property follows the loss of their Los Angeles home to wildfires earlier this year.
A Piece of New Orleans History
Known locally as the Joseph Merrick Jones House, the mansion has long been considered one of the Garden District’s cultural landmarks. It has been home to artists, musicians, and public figures for over 150 years. With Goodman’s listing, a new chapter awaits for this historic property.
