498 South Lakeshore Drive – $3.9 million

Within the Walls: Designed by the same men responsible for Louisiana State Capitol, this home was constructed in the 1930s for Huey P. Long and was later passed on to his widow and then his son, Senator Russell P. Long. While the home has been updated, each room holds true to the original charm and design, with classic touches such as ornate wallpaper and bold colors. The second floor is accessible through a winding front staircase, while each room enjoys natural light thanks to walls of French doors.

Lay of the Land: Large white columns and a hanging lantern offer a nod to the home’s stately beginnings. A large front lawn leads to sweeping views of the LSU Lakes. In the backyard, well-manicured gardens are complete with fountains, while a pool is accented by brick and vines.
