Home by the Bayou

UNBEATABLE Bayou Saint John location. This single-family home with a large back yard is available for six-month or one-year lease beginning September 2023.

The single-level home features 130-year old historic New Orleans architecture and is well maintained and replete with architectural details. Highly desirable location half a block from Bayou St. John and walking distance to restaurants, grocery, Lafitte Greenway, City Park, Louisiana Childrens Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, the world class Sculpture Garden, and JAZZ FEST(!). But you dont have to walk the half block to the bayou to enjoy the outdoors, as this home sits on a key lot and has a lushly landscaped back yard with giant blue bamboo, queen palms, a gold fish pond, and a unique, must-see, custom treehouse. The well-appointed kitchen features two ovens and separate gas range, copious cabinet space, pantry, a central island that seats six, and the kitchen is open to the living space. A double parlor of two 15X15 rooms (additional living rooms, not the bedrooms) are separated by original pocket doors. The large master bedroom features a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom with shower and separate clawfoot tub, and lots of storage. The hallway (with lots of natural light) features extensive built-in bookshelves and storage cabinets. Second bedroom is 15X15. The third bedroom is smaller and also contains the washer and dryer (in a closet separate from the regular closet). This could be a bedroom or a great work-space/craft room, etc. There is an extra 7X30 room off of the master bedroom with lots of windows/light, leading to the covered back porch, leading to the bamboo oasis, leading to the lawn, leading to the unique treehouse. Do not be confused by the two doors on the front of the house- rest assured this is a single-family home (no shared walls). It was very thoughtfully converted from a double to a single by an architect for his mother. Its on a great block (peaceful yet vibrant) right by Bayou St. John. Located in flood zone X (the best), and it did not flood in hurricane Katrina. Tenant pays entergy and water, owner pays internet and yard maintenance.
