This is a rare opportunity to add your own finishing touches to a classic New Orleans shotgun-style home in the Bywater neighborhood that is rich with historic character. Many original architectural details remain beautifully preserved, including gorgeous heart-of-pine floors, soaring 12' and 10' ceilings, interior & exterior transoms, an exterior side gallery porch, and functional louvered shutters. Two sets of French doors open to the street-facing balcony, creating the perfect spot to relax and take in the charm of the surrounding neighborhood. The lush side yard stretches the full depth of the generous 120-foot lot, offering greenery and outdoor space from front to back. A private rear courtyard provides access to the laundry room and adds to the home's inviting outdoor areas. Currently used as a part-time residence, the property also offers built-in income potential. The rear section of the home is leased for $900 per month, while a separate rear structure generates an additional $500 per month in rental income. With its classic architecture, income-producing potential, and room for personalization, this property presents a unique opportunity in a quintessential New Orleans setting.
