Welcome home to a precious 2-bay Bywater cottage! Vintage Creole architectural elements grace the facade, including floor-to-ceiling windows with batten shutters, and overhang. Inside you’ll find wood floors, and side doors that open onto a lovely bricked courtyard spanning front to back. The versatile floorpan offers 2-bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room—ideal for a dining area, home office, third bedroom, library, or a creative studio to suit your lifestyle. The backyard is sweet-as-can-be, dappled with sunlight shining through a canopy of mature trees and tranquil views of the nearby church bell. Additional features include off-street parking and a traditional New Orleans-style 7-board fence, enhancing both privacy and curb appeal. Quite adorable, and in a neighborhood where your favorite cafe, live music, dive-bar, dance floor, riverfront park, galleries, and exceptional dining experiences are mere steps from home. Move right-in and make this darling cottage your own.
