Ours is a modern house in an established neighborhood walking distance to the New Orleans Lakefront. Our corner lot and the surrounding area are covered with Mature Oak trees and the neighborhood is a designated bird sanctuary. The house is a grand place to zen out around the pool, read in an artist's loft or enjoy the funky, but very functional living areas.
The New Orleans French Quarter is a 15 minute straight shot to the river via bus, Uber or car. There, a vivid history tells its tale among dive restaurants, bars and fine dining. Similarly, uptown, the garden district and fun destinations on Magazine St. are easy to get to.
Closer to home is the magnificent Lake Pontchartrain seawall, a 7 miles long cement wall with steps into the lake culminating at West End with restaurants and clubs. Great for walking, biking, fishing and just relaxing.
The Space
The house is full of crazy angles, interesting local art work and beautiful views from its many windows. The pool was created as an adult cocktale/plunge pool, but has passed the kid test very well! With 3 bedrooms and 31/2 baths, there is plenty of room for a family or people traveling together.
Guest Access
We have a ground floor of living space and the pool, but all bedrooms are on the second or third floors. For this reason, the house is not well suited for those with mobility issues.
Notes
Washer and dryer can be found on the second floor. We have high speed internet, central air and a gas grill under the cabana.

We are a pair of empty nesters living our post child rearing years in one the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans. The Bywater area has a great Bohemian vibe full of every description of New Orleans character.
We are both New Orleans natives who cherish the city and particularly the older neighborhoods. We enjoy the mixture of crazy, straight, gay, regular, corner lunch spots and chatting with everyone who walks past. Lots of dogs and young families among them.
We are friendly, easy going, responsible people who care for our property and would be particularly kind to another person's property.
