Set within the historic Holy Cross neighborhood along the mighty Mississippi River, this is a truly rare opportunity to own a super special property. This raised Victorian home was constructed around the turn of the century between 1896 and 1909. The preserved architectural details include exterior façade millwork and corbels, hardwood floors, operational wood windows and sliding parlor pocket doors, picture rail, ceiling medallions, mirrored wooden fireplace mantles with tile surrounds (in almost every room!), cypress doors with transoms and working exterior screens and shutters. Modern updates include electrical system (2008), gas tankless water heater (2007,) architectural shingle roof (2024), AC system and ductwork (2025), and spray foam insulation. The property includes a 1,872 square foot 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main house and a 592 square foot 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house on a 76ft-over-60ft by 139ft-over-105ft lot. The property boasts an expansive yard and the main house was built to interact with the beautiful landscape. The front, side and rear porches overlook the yard, and the shaded ground level under the house offers an entertaining area plus laundry and storage. The interior of the main house contains a traditional floor plan with foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms and bathrooms at the quiet rear of the home. The kitchen includes real wood cabinetry with unique brass pulls, soapstone countertops, wide porcelain sink, gas range, and large butcher block island. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on this level, plus the loft bedroom upstairs. The cottage in the rear corner of the yard is a stand-alone finished space that can function as an income suite, mother-in law apartment, artist-in-residence studio, office, or bonus playroom space. This property has so many special features at an attractive price in a historic New Orleans setting. Schedule your showing today and see if you're ready to become her next caretaker!
