Property Description
A genuine New Orleans original in Historic Holy Cross: a solid-brick cottage on a corner lot just a few blocks from the Mississippi River levee, where a short walk puts the downtown skyline right in front of you. Twin brick archways frame the covered front porch, and the same cottage character carries through to a private studio in the rear yard. About 1,250 square feet of well-planned living includes 9-foot ceilings, wood floors in the living and sleeping rooms, a formal living room and dining room, a full kitchen with indoor laundry, and two generous bedrooms with large closets. The standout is the workshop converted into a studio with its own air conditioning and a rear-yard entrance — space to work, make, or simply get out of the house without leaving the lot. A mature landscape frames the front, a usable side yard runs along the cottage, and the neighborhood still feels like a village on the river: quiet streets, front porches, and one of the few places in the city where the levee is a walk, not a drive. Historic Holy Cross remains one of New Orleans’ most authentic corners — real, residential, and close to the water.
