Updated 5BR Bywater Home - Backyard, 2 Living Rms

Enjoy New Orleans from the best location in the Bywater! This recently renovated, 2-story home has 5 bedrooms with a total of 6 beds. Ample space for 10 guests with all the modern amenities and all the classic New Orleans charm. You'll be just a few minutes drive from the world-famous French Quarter with all the space and comfort that comes with having a private home. Kick back on the private porch or relax in the backyard, perfect for an al fresco meal or unwinding after a night out.

This spacious, newly-renovated property in the coveted Bywater area was built around 1900 and spreads out across 2 floors with 5 bedrooms (6 total beds), 2 full baths (one with a jacuzzi tub), two separate living rooms, and plenty of space for large family vacations, bachelor or bachelorette groups or a couples' retreat.

Enjoy over 2100 sq.ft. of old-world interior space with all the modern comforts but all the authentic New Orleans charm. Wide plank wood floors, wood-beamed ceilings, exposed brick, crown moulding, ceiling medallions, pocket doors, glass door knobs, and stainless steel appliances give this property rustic modern vibes all the way around. A huge, fence-in backyard, peaceful 2nd floor porch, and natural light flooding in through no less than 26 windows and glass doors make this space one of the most enjoyable on the market.

Upon entering, you'll find yourself in the tremendous formal dining room with stone floors and seating for 10, with a full walk-in laundry room tucked off to the side. Once through the dining room, the rest of the first level enjoys a spacious, open-concept layout perfect for entertaining or just watching a game on the Roku TV. A huge sectional sofa, upright piano, brand-new island kitchen, walk-in pantry, casual dining area for 6, the first bedroom, a full bath, and double glass doors that lead to the back yard make the main floor the perfect spot for everyone to be together. Also, nothing says outdoor space like a covered courtyard lined with banana trees and jasmine, covered outdoor seating, and a custom wall mural. The mural shows the Mississippi River and the Fleur de Lis icon shows where the home is in the city and along the river.

Once upstairs, guests will find a charming reading nook, a second full living room with another flat-screen TV, as well as the remaining bedrooms, full bathroom, and second floor patio. The full bath features a separate jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower with rain shower feature. The patio is the perfect place for a nightcap or cup of morning coffee.

PLEASE NOTE: When walking upstairs, the bedroom with the two full beds (Bedroom 2) is located off of the upstairs living room and you have to walk through this room to get to the other 3 bedrooms up there, so it is not a private space like the others. The other bedrooms can be closed off at night but the room with the two fulls is still open and would have to be entered to get to the bathroom in the hallway upstairs. Also, to access the upstairs porch, you have to go through the doors in Bedroom 3.

There is a floor plan as the last picture in the photo deck to give you a better idea of the layout. The room on the 2nd floor labeled as "Bedroom 2 / Sleeping Area" is the non-private room with the two beds.
