Greeted upon entering by historic custom millwork, Art Deco chandeliers, wide-plank hardwood floors, large wood windows glowing in the sunlight, and voluminous space with soaringly high ceilings, this Bywater home exudes tons of charm and has been lovingly updated with all the modern creature comforts. <br> <br> This turn-of-the-century double was converted into a glorious single family residence, with the front half of the home offering a flexible floor plan with room for formal living space, dining room, casual sitting area or home office, as well as a beautiful kitchen. This space anxiously awaits entertaining guests and visitors for Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, Jazz Fest, crawfish season, the holidays, and all the other exciting times when we gather in New Orleans. At the quiet rear of the home, there are two bedroom suites with spacious sleeping rooms, abundant closet space, and renovated en-suite bathrooms. <br><br> Wander into the backyard to discover a low maintenance space that serves as a private oasis in the heart of the city. An expansive deck provides the perfect setting for dining al fresco or simply taking in the fresh air with a good book and a cup of coffee. The shade tree offers respite from the Louisiana sun, while the raised wood planters add a touch of greenery and make for a bountiful herb garden. <br><br> Walking out your front door into the vibrant Bywater neighborhood translates into immediate community with great neighbors, corner cafes, and local dive bars. Some of the city's best spots will be right out your door, such as Bacchanal, Parleaux Beer Lab, the Joint, Vaughan's, BJ's and more. Crescent Park is a mere 1.5 blocks from your doorstep, offering a pedestrian/biking path for exercising off those brunch calories while taking in panoramic views of the city skyline, Crescent Connection bridge, and Mississippi River.
