I’m a huge John Goodman fan. He elevates every movie he’s in. He was perfect in the hilarious TV show Roseanne. Known for his deep voice, versatile performances, and long-running role as Dan Conner on the hit TV series Roseanne, he has also also starred in numerous acclaimed films, including The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou? Goodman has lived in New Orleans for many years and is known for his love of the city’s culture, architecture, and food.
The mansion he’s selling is a historic home at 2425 Coliseum Street in the heart of New Orleans’ Garden District. Built in the 1850s, the 4,950-square-foot Italianate-Greek Revival residence is currently listed for $4,750,000. The property features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and is known for its deep double galleries, grand staircase, and period detailing. The chef’s kitchen includes quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and modern appliances, seamlessly blending old and new.
Upstairs, three of the bedrooms have ensuite baths, while a fourth room was converted into a dressing room. The outdoor space offers a saltwater pool, covered veranda, and private gardens, creating a peaceful retreat in the city. Gated entry, off-street parking, and a whole-house generator complete this rare and elegant Garden District property.
