Lakewood South is one of New Orleans’ best-kept secrets, featuring beautiful, Live Oak–lined streets, a strong sense of community, and the convenience of a private security patrol. Just one mile from the shops, dining, and everyday conveniences of Veterans Boulevard, the neighborhood offers a rare blend of privacy and accessibility. Within this sought-after setting, the home offers a thoughtful blend of classic New Orleans character and modern comfort, with 4 spacious bedrooms and 4 full baths arranged in a flexible, well-designed floor plan. A private courtyard anchors the home, featuring a heated swimming pool and French Quarter–style custom cast iron balconies that create a timeless architectural focal point. Outdoor living extends to the backyard, where a fully covered patio with an outdoor kitchen provides the perfect setting for entertaining and relaxed everyday living. Inside, the den is warm and inviting with a gas fireplace, while a dedicated home office with custom built-ins provides an ideal work-from-home setup. The kitchen and main living areas flow seamlessly, balancing functionality and style. The home also includes leased, transferable solar panels for approximately $50 per month, powering the kitchen, office, breakfast area, and den—adding efficiency to this thoughtfully designed property.
