A Storybook Cottage in the Heart of Bywater! This charming shotgun cottage sits in the heart of the Bywater, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1,100 square feet. Decorative trim and floor-to-ceiling windows give this home timeless curb appeal. Inside, the historic wood floors and trim enhances the home's character.
The home uniquely runs back to front, starting with an eat-in kitchen, providing a natural flow to the layout. French doors in the living room lead to a tranquil side yard. For its age, this cottage holds a surprising amount of closet space, a rarity in Bywater.
Out back there's a fenced yard with a laundry shed. Coffee out there in the morning, a drink at the end of the day.
You're close to everything: Bywater Bakery, Satsuma, Sneaky Pickle, Bywater Art Gallery, Euclid Records, and more. With bike paths just four blocks away that'll get you to the levee, the Marigny, or the French Quarter.
