Tucked into the heart of the historic Holy Cross neighborhood, this charming, converted double-shotgun blends classic New Orleans character with thoughtful modern updates. Tall ceilings and abundant windows fill the home with natural light, providing a bright and airy feel throughout the home. A modern kitchen and updated bathrooms offer today’s comforts without sacrificing historic appeal.
Practical upgrades, including a 3-year-old roof and a 9-year-old sewer line, add real peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a fenced, private backyard—suitable for entertaining, gardening, or quiet evenings at home. Easy parking is an added bonus in this sought-after area.
Located on a corner lot just 2 blocks from the river and neighborhood green spaces, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Orleans history with the upgrades already done.
