A genuine New Orleans original — and one of the most soulful homes at this price point in the city sits in the Historic Holy Cross neighborhood, a stone's throw from the mighty Mississippi River. Built in solid brick on a corner lot, this home features high ceilings, antique heart-pine floors, and a well-designed interior with a full kitchen with stainless appliances, indoor laundry, and two generous bedrooms with large closets. The standout feature: a workshop converted into a private studio with its own rear yard entrance. This is the kind of creative space — room for what you make, what you build, what you create — that simply doesn't come with most homes at any price. Historic Holy Cross is one of New Orleans' most authentic neighborhoods, with the river levee and Crescent Park connection nearby.
