The interiors have Greek Revival medallions, moldings, mantel, and millwork that are highlighted by the wide-planked deep red mahogany colored heart pine flooring.  All rooms are furnished with fine French, Creole, Acadian,and Mid-French Louisiana antiques.  Delicate winding stairways lead to the bedrooms with dormers.  The house is now a gallery/studio and home for architect Eugene Cizek, Ph.D., FAIA, Professor and Director of the Tulane University School of Architecture Preservation Studies Program, as well as Lloyd Sensat, artist, educator, historian, and tour guide. Cizek and Sensat founded the Nationally acclaimed "Education Through Historic Preservation Program".  Sun Oak is the headquarters for the Sun Oak Foundation for Education Through Historic Preservation, a non-profit 501-C3 organization.

To the rear of the house is a series of lushly landscaped patios and subtropical gardens dominated by the ancient Sun Oak.  This exciting and sensuous environment is Creole New Orleans at its best. Faubourg Marigny comprises the most intact Creole neighborhood in the city and is only a short, pleasant walk to Jackson Square in the heart of the Vieux Carré or French Quarter.

Sun Oak is a private home, but is available by appointment for tours, corporate entertaining, and overnight accommodations. Sun Oak is a member of the Louisiana Bed & Breakfast Association, the Louisiana Travel Promotion Association, the Greater New Orleans Tourist & Convention Commissions, Inc., and the Professional Innkeeper Association of New Orleans.
