Property Description

Exceptional raised Mid-City cottage blending timeless historic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, perfectly situated along a park-like boulevard shaded by majestic live oaks and a dedicated bike path. Enjoy an excellent location just minutes from Bayou St. John, the Lafitte Greenway, Bayou Beer Garden, and many of the city's favorite neighborhood restaurants. Built in the 1940s and extensively renovated in 2019, the home features a newer roof, updated central AC, tankless water heater, and freshly painted exterior finished with premium weather-resistant paint. The raised-basement design elevates the main living spaces while creating a rare full-footprint garage with parking for multiple cars, abundant storage, and expansive workshop space. Inside, historic details abound, including heart pine floors, original cypress doors and mantels, coffered ceilings, decorative columns, and original built-in cabinets and window seats. The kitchen is designed for cooking and entertaining, offering quartzite countertops, generous prep space, an instant hot water faucet, and a bar with a dual-zone wine fridge. Both full baths feature original antique clawfoot tubs paired with custom glass shower enclosures, while the primary bath includes heated marble floors for an added touch of luxury. A spacious screened porch creates a fantastic outdoor living area overlooking a secluded backyard oasis enclosed by a towering bamboo privacy wall and accented by fruit trees, fragrant sweet olives, ginger lilies, and rose bushes. Offering character, privacy, and amenities rarely found in New Orleans, this special home also provides exceptional convenience with easy access to City Park, the French Quarter, Uptown, streetcar lines, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Rouses.
