About this home
Some homes simply have a story to tell - built in 1912 and meticulously renovated over a century later, this home is that rare Uptown find: a classic New Orleans raised cottage that has been brought fully into the 21st century without losing an ounce of its soul. Set in the heart of the Black Pearl neighborhood — recognized by the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans as an "Uptown gem" — this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits within the Carrollton Historic District. The architecture is unmistakably New Orleans: a raised foundation, two inviting front porches, & a landscaped garden that announces the care invested throughout. Inside features high ceilings, polished hardwood floors throughout and tons of windows flooding with natural light from all sides. The heart of the home is the kitchen anchored by a granite island and pull-out pantry, outfitted with a full suite of appliances — cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher & refrigerator. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet & a private bath, while two additional bedrooms adapt easily to guest rooms, home offices, or whatever life requires. The fully finished detached rear studio is the property's secret weapon. Whether you envision a home office, artist's retreat or guest suite, this versatile space delivers. Off-street parking completes a picture that is genuinely rare for this walkable urban neighborhood - easy access to the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, a car is entirely optional. Audubon Park, Tulane and Loyola Universities, the Riverbend dining corridor, Maple Street's independent shops, and the Mississippi River levee trail are all minutes away on foot or by bike. Black Pearl is more than a location — it is a community with a living history. Buyers here don't just purchase a home; they join a storied, preservation-minded community that takes pride in what it has built and protected. Energy-efficient, termite contract and whole house generator are part of the deal. Architecturally irreplaceable....
