Beautifully restored 1949 cottage in the heart of Old Arabi, completely renovated in 2018 -- just minutes from the French Quarter. The home is also just a few steps from the mighty Mississippi River levee, offering a picturesque view of the New Orleans skyline to the Crescent City Connection right from the back porch! A classic covered front porch welcomes you into a bright living and dining area with hardwood floors, crown molding, custom wood blinds and recessed lighting throughout. The fully renovated kitchen is a showstopper: custom white cabinetry, soapstone counters, stainless steel appliances (cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, oven, refrigerator), a gas cooktop island, pendant lighting, and a breakfast bar. Two bedrooms and two full baths offer flexibility for a primary retreat and guest room or home office. The primary suite features a spa-like bath with a clawfoot soaking tub, dual vanity, and separate shower, plus a walk-in closet and adjoining laundry room. A second full bath with classic subway tile and penny-tile flooring serves the front bedroom. Out back, a covered patio overlooks a huge, fully fenced yard — ideal for entertaining, pets, or play. The lot itself is a standout: at 40' x 171', it runs significantly deeper than the typical lot. Location is everything here: Arabi sits just five miles — about a 10-minute drive — from the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans, giving you easy access to world-class dining, music, and culture without the tourist premium. Nestled along historic St. Claude Avenue near Jackson Barracks, the Old Arabi neighborhood is known for its tight-knit community feel, low crime rates, and highly-rated local schools, plus quick access to shopping, groceries, and everyday conveniences along St. Claude Avenue and Judge Perez Drive. Move-in ready and full of character — this is Crescent City living at its best.
