Overview

This exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored former neighborhood school in the highly desirable, historic Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Seamlessly blending architectural character with modern refinement, this beautifully renovated property has been transformed into a spacious three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home, including a big office or flex room that honors its past while delivering the comforts of contemporary living. Expansive open-concept living and dining areas provide an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining, offering generous proportions rarely found in historic properties. The massive kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring abundant workspace and room to gather, making it equally suited for casual meals or hosting larger occasions. Original wood beam ceilings in select rooms preserve the building’s historic charm and architectural authenticity, while rebuilt, front-facing French doors flood the interior with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. The primary suite offers a true retreat, designed with comfort and space in mind. Generous in size and thoughtfully appointed, it provides a private sanctuary within the home. Two additional large bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or additional living needs. Outdoor amenities further elevate the property. A gated driveway extends along the side of the home to the rear of the property, providing secure off-street parking—an invaluable feature in the city. The sizable backyard offers ample room for relaxation and recreation, complete with an outdoor bar area that creates a perfect setting for entertaining and enjoying New Orleans’ vibrant climate. Located in one of the most walkable and culturally rich neighborhoods in the city, residents enjoy easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, and live music venues that define the Bywater lifestyle.
