Easy living, genuine character, and a blank canvas next door - this c 1900 Raised Basement Bywater gem sits just steps from Crescent Park & minutes from the French Quarter and the CBD. This two-story home offers 2 bedrooms & 1 bath across roughly 2,200 square feet, with plenty of square footage to spread into beyond that. Upstairs brings 12-foot ceilings & beautiful antique heart-pine floors through the living areas and bedrooms - the kind of craftsmanship you simply can't replicate in new construction. The basement level downstairs holds a 28' x 27' recreation room, a private-entrance office ideal for a home business or studio, laundry, and a dressing room that flexes as extra storage or a second living area - classic New Orleans construction, built up off the ground the way homes in this city should be. A fireplace anchors the home's original character. Next door, the vacant portion of this oversized 61' x 120' lot is a true blank canvas - separable and ready for a second home, guest cottage, or garden. Bywater's food & music scene is right outside the door - Bacchanal Wine's garden shows, Elizabeth's praline bacon, the wood-fired pies at Pizza Delicious - all an easy walk away. This is flexible New Orleans living - room to grow at home, and no shortage of reasons to love what's right outside it.
