Welcome to your opportunity to own a piece of authentic New Orleans charm in the heart of the Bywater. This stunning shotgun-style home beautifully blends historic character with modern updates, offering 12-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, and a layout that feels both open and inviting. Though currently a one-bedroom, the flexible floor plan could easily convert into two bedrooms, an office, with a creative studio. LOTS of OFF-STREET PARKING. Zoned R-2
The updated kitchen, now thoughtfully moved to the front of the home, serves as the perfect gathering place — bright, stylish, and designed for both cooking and conversation. The spacious bedroom features an original fireplace with a gorgeous mantle, adding warmth and timeless appeal. With a washer and dryer conveniently located inside, this home combines historic beauty with everyday practicality.
Outside, enjoy a charming fenced backyard for morning coffee or evening entertaining, plus a generous side yard with coveted off-street parking. At the rear of the property, a separate building offers incredible potential — a workshop, art studio, storage, or even a guesthouse with minor improvements.
Located in one of New Orleans’ most creative and walkable neighborhoods, this property embodies the best of Bywater living. Enjoy easy access to local restaurants, cafés, and the Mississippi Riverfront, all just minutes from the French Quarter. With its combination of preserved architecture, modern updates, outdoor space, and future potential, this home is a rare find — full of soul, charm, and endless possibilities.
