Nestled in the heart of historic Gentilly Terrace, this sunny Cape Cod home blends timeless character with thoughtfully updated living spaces in one of New Orleans' most beloved neighborhoods. Established in 1909 as a streetcar suburb and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Gentilly Terrace is celebrated for its diverse architecture — including Louisiana's largest collection of California Craftsman bungalows — its elevated terrain, and its strong community spirit.
Inside, refinished hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and period-inspired bathrooms preserve the home's historic charm while offering modern comfort. Bright, welcoming living and dining spaces flow into a highly functional galley kitchen and spacious laundry room. A versatile music room/flex space connects to the second floor, where two additional bedrooms and a full bath create ideal options for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. Three bedrooms and two full baths in all.
The private backyard is an entertainer's dream. A sleek plunge pool, oyster shell fountain, outdoor fireplace, and lush landscaping come together to create a distinctly New Orleans outdoor retreat — equally suited for quiet mornings and lively gatherings. The detached garage has been transformed into a well-appointed workshop, ready to serve as a gym, studio, or private office.
Just minutes from City Park, Bayou St. John, the Fair Grounds, the French Quarter, and the Lake Pontchartrain lakefront, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Orleans history without sacrificing a single modern convenience.
