Located in the heart of New Orleans’ vibrant Bywater neighborhood, this gorgeous 1852 Creole cottage has been lovingly renovated to maintain its historic charm while also offering modern functionality, a truly enchanting property that includes a beautifully restored main house, a lush fully fenced in yard, and an income-generating guest house. The main house features a brand-new fortified roof & upgraded electrical panel with a whole-home surge protector and has been meticulously restored by a historical renovation expert. The bright central living and dining areas are adorned with 10.5-foot ceilings, pocket doors, and original wood floors. Hand-milled cypress windows and shutters, restored transom windows, and original cypress exterior doors honor the home’s storied past. New double-hung wood windows on the front, classic six-over-six on the side, and casement windows at the back. The open kitchen features custom cabinets and shelving by restaurant designer Matthew Holdren, double oven gas range, a new refrigerator, a Kohler cast iron double drain sink, and beadboard ceilings that mirror the original wood floors. The primary suite exudes a serene, Zen-like atmosphere, with a spacious bedroom framed by reclaimed French doors and a flexible walk-in closet or office space with a separate exterior entrance. The recently remodeled primary bath includes a walk-in shower, barge board walls, a transom window for natural ventilation and a washer and dryer. Plus, a newly remodeled guest bed and bath. Outdoors, enjoy a garden oasis with brick pathways, a private courtyard, and lush landscaping filled with native and tropical plants—a paradise for gardeners and nature lovers alike. The detached guest house is a bright and airy 1 bed/1 bath with its own separate address, utilities, and private entrances. This rare compound is a unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of New Orleans history thoughtfully updated for modern living.
