This lovely Lower Garden District Creole cottage is a rare find in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. A double--perfect for living in one side while leasing the other. Reminiscent of a French Quarter-style home with a charming courtyard, this home is conveniently located between Coliseum Square and St. Charles--a block from each. The stunning renovation on the owner's side retains historic elements with added modern custom design elements. This light-filled, carefully curated home has wide-plank wood floors, historic wooden fireplace mantels, custom fixtures and appliances, marble tile and a custom sink in the bathroom, Quartzite countertops, a farmer's sink in kitchen, and bars that feature reclaimed wood. The home has historic pickled bead board, is painted in Farrow and Ball, and has iron railings designed by a local artist on the staircase to the second floor. Each side has a bedroom downstairs, as well as an upstairs bedroom. Central heat and air in owner's unit, and mini-splits in rental. Located less than a block from the Parade Route, so Mardi Gras is a big, fun-filled time here! Also located a block from Coliseum Square--a local live-oak tree filled park where you'll find neighbors playing with their dogs, children playing, picnics, Jazz in the Park, and other neighborhood gatherings. Roof is 2022 and termite contract in place.
