Come swoon with us! A love story set in the heart of Bywater, New Orleans’ most jovial neighborhood, embracing art, local music, good coffee, delicious meals, and award-winning restaurants. This classic craftsman double has been fully reborn as a glowing, storybook cottage. A true stunner featuring 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, beautifully proportioned living spaces, and a rear addition spanning the width of its oversized lot—crafted to delight your senses. A bespoke kitchen anchors the entertaining area, with custom-built, solid wood cabinets, paneled appliances, a six-burner stove, gorgeous marble and soapstone counter tops, and a charming scullery tucked in the corner for prepping meals and storing all of your culinary equipment. Multiple entrances offer a flexible floor plan, including the option for a private guest suite—ideal for hosting friends and family, multi-generational living, or use as a home office, or a formal living room. The primary bedroom suite is a dream, complete with a spacious shower, soaking bath, walk-in closet, and French doors that open onto a secret patio and private, side entrance. The oversized lot is a rare find, offering a serene paradise framed by tropical palm trees, garden planters, and a classic 7-board fence. Its southern courtyard features historic flagstone and bricked walkways and multiple porches—including a screened retreat—creating endless opportunities for soirees under the stars. An indoor/outdoor bathroom adds a playful, resort-like touch, and there is ample room to add a pool. Practicality meets luxury with two driveways providing off-street parking for several cars, a lovely laundry room, walk-in closets in every bedroom, and a security system. Every detail has been considered, resulting in a home that feels both rooted in historic New Orleans and alive with character. Enjoy each day to the fullest in your personal sanctuary.
