Newly renovated raised single-family historic Creole Cottage in the heart of the popular Bywater neighborhood. Sitting just one block from vibrant St. Claude Ave, this home offers historic charm with modern design and includes a DETACHED GUEST house for flexible living arrangements.

Inside, exposed brick and pocket doors showcase the home’s history, while tasteful fixtures, butcher-block countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a large pantry bring a fresh, modern feel. Built-in shelving and California Closet systems maximize storage and organization, and the efficient layout makes the interior both stylish and practical. High ceilings and natural light give the home an inviting sense of space.

An expansive rear porch with soaring ceilings and a wrap-around design serves as an outdoor living room, great for morning coffee or evening entertaining. At the back of the property, the detached guest house—built with durable metal siding and a metal roof—includes its own full bathroom and closet, making it ideal as a guest suite, office, gym, workshop, or art studio.

For added peace of mind, the property has been pre-inspected and is ready for immediate move-in. With renovations complete and no immediate projects needed, you can start enjoying your Bywater lifestyle right away.

Located just steps from neighborhood eateries such as Bywater Bakery, Origen Bistro, Pizza Delicious, shops, and music venues, and minutes to Crescent Park, Frenchmen Street, and the French Quarter, this home offers both convenience and community. With its combination of character, modern design, and versatile spaces, your home is ready for you.

Fourth bedroom and third bath are in the detached 200sqft guest house, which is included in the living area. Some photos have been virtually staged to help buyers visualize the property's potential. Property will be shown unfurnished.
