Amy Schumer had put together a dream home in New Orleans, a city she had been in love with since she was 16, calling the French Quarter house the “Jewel Box.”
The cottage is now for sale for $1,250,000, according to listing agents Michael and Kat Wilkinson of French Quarter Realty.
The comedian and actress purchased the home on the 800 block of Barracks Street with her husband in 2021, joining a list of celebrities with French Quarter homes such as Lenny Kravitz, Nicolas Cage and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Far from her raunchy stand-up persona, Schumer told Homeworthy, a home and design website that takes viewers inside notable houses, she filled her cottage with brightly colored and vibrant designs and furniture. She lived in the home with her husband and 5-year-old son.
“I actually like being around beauty … and really drunk people,” Schumer told Homeworthy.
Inside the quirky home are entryway walls hand-painted with flamingos and inspired by the birds at Audubon Zoo, a mostly-pink formal living room that’s mostly pink, porches and a pool.
“A rare French Quarter residence where timeless architecture meets modern luxury. This 1886 home, once owned by a well-known celebrity, has been fully restored and reimagined with care,” The Upperline Group wrote on Instagram.
