Welcome to this beautifully renovated half of a classic New Orleans double (duplex) in the heart of the historic Bywater neighborhood. Located on a quiet residential block just minutes from Crescent Park, the Mississippi River, Frenchmen Street, and the French Quarter, this home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
The home features two spacious bedrooms, one full bathroom, new central HVAC heat and air conditioning, updated plumbing, updated electrical, a new water heater, modern appliances (including a refrigerator, even though not pictured yet), in-unit washer and dryer, and abundant natural light throughout. Original architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved while major systems have been modernized for comfortable everyday living.
This is a classic New Orleans shotgun-style 2-bedroom with a layout perfect for a couple or a work-from-home professional who needs an in-home office or workspace. A private fenced backyard area is planned for this unit, giving tenants their own dedicated outdoor space while maintaining privacy between both sides of the duplex.
Architectural details include 12' ceilings, refinished heart-of-pine wood floors, a claw-foot tub, and an original mantel.
The neighborhood is highly walkable and known for its local cafes, restaurants, bars, parks, and vibrant arts scene, while still offering a peaceful residential atmosphere.
Available for long-term lease (12 months minimum) beginning August 1. Tenant pays electric, gas, and internet. Water and sewer included in the rent!
This is one side of a duplex for rent. The other side is occupied by the owner/landlord and his partner. Must be LGBTQ+ friendly.
