Hearts will swoon for this lovingly preserved 1850s Creole Cottage on tree-lined Louisa Street. Built with quality craftsmanship, refined elegance, and gorgeous historic elements reflective of its 175-year history, like wide-plank heart-pine flooring, 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, cypress millwork, mantles, french doors, and 12” baseboards throughout. An extra wide lot provides passages on either side, allowing for many configurations within its flexible floor plan. Currently used as 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with living room, dining room, den, home office, and music studio, all with a shaded entry to a secluded backyard complete with bricked patio and mature fruit trees. (Previous uses include an L-shaped owner’s unit with a separate apartment for added income.) Located in the heart of Bywater where you can take scenic walks along the riverfront, grab coffee with friends, eat fabulous farm-to-table meals, wine and dine at world-class eateries, enjoy delicious pizza, tacos, and local beers from neighborhood pubs, live music, dancing, yoga, art shows, the best po-boys and hot-plates in the 9th ward, meet neighbors, stroll with your pets, shop LPs, enjoy cajun brunches, swim at the Country Club, and partake in neighborhood parades, pop-ups, and merrymaking, to name just a few of our favorites.
