A rare offering in Historic Holy Cross, this beautifully renovated Creole cottage sits on an extraordinary 91' x 130' parcel—approximately three standard city lots—creating a setting that feels both expansive and remarkably private.
Originally built in 1918 and thoughtfully restored, the residence balances historic character with modern comfort. Original windows, a preserved banister, and classic clawfoot tubs honor the home's heritage, while Tigerwood floors, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and updated mechanical systems provide contemporary ease. Light pours into the home from every angle, enhancing the warm and inviting interiors throughout. The two-story layout includes a private upstairs primary suite and expansive primary bathroom with beautiful clawfoot tub.
The outdoor spaces have been carefully cultivated into a verdant garden retreat featuring established fruit trees, edible plantings, and abundant room for gardening, recreation, or future possibilities. Just a short distance from the Mississippi River, the property offers a distinctive blend of historic New Orleans character and an unusually generous outdoor environment rarely found within the city.
Located in a preferred flood zone with assumable flood policy. Roof replaced in 2017.
