632 DESLONDE ST

This enchanting Victorian home is a riverfront dream. Tucked in the bend of the Mississippi River levee in picturesque Holy Cross, it spans four lots and lives like your own country cottage, just minutes from the heart of Downtown New Orleans.
From the moment you step inside, the main house charms you with a spacious 28-foot living and dining area overlooking the front porch through floor-to-ceiling windows. A vintage-inspired kitchen peeks through with tiled walls and schoolhouse lighting, complete with a walk-in pantry housing the refrigerator and laundry. The first floor features two light-filled bedrooms and 1.5 baths, while the entire second floor is dedicated to a generous primary bedroom suite—a true treetop retreat.
Outside, an enchanted garden oasis wraps around the home in a T-shape with frontage on both Royal and Deslonde Streets. A detached one-bedroom studio apartment adds endless flexibility—ideal as a guest house, creative workspace, or income-producing rental.
Two driveways and rear yard access provide ample space to add a pool and park your vehicles, boats, or RV, while a vintage 18' x 24' barn-style garage/workshop adds storage and character. At the heart of the property lies an oversized brick courtyard that connects the lush 60' x 120' lot—perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. Raised flower beds, a veggie garden, a big chicken coop, and a cozy screened-in porch complete the serene outdoor living experience.
Wake up to breathtaking sunrise views over the Mississippi River, enjoy jogs and birdwatching along the levee, and savor peaceful afternoons in your private paradise. Located between vibrant Bywater and Historic Arabi, you're just minutes from local favorites like Bywater Bakery, Vaughan's, BJ's, Kitchen Table Cafe, Old Arabi Bar, Low Point Coffee, Bacchanal, Canseco's, Parleaux Brewery, and more. This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to own a slice of New Orleans magic.
