     It is rare to find brand new homes in the Bywater Neighborhood of New Orleans as new construction has to be done only on empty  lots and homes that are unlivable since this is an historic neighborhood. Thehistoric commission has to approve the new construction and has to look historic in nature.

      This home has a lot of historic features but it is brand new with lots of features that old homes do not have. It was completed in 2017 and none has lived in it. It is an open floor plan with 12 ft. ceilings and lot of insulated windows and natural light. There is no carpet. All historic pine floors with tile in bathrooms. Lots of crown molding. A raised side hall cottage.

       The master bedroom and bath are Great. The bedroom overlooks the backyard yard. Has Barge Board Artistic Wall and Barn Door into a large master bath with plenty of room with a tub and shower.  There is a walkin closet. Few steps to the rear courtyard.

      The other bedroom opens into the hallway bath. This is a nice feature for guests. It is like having a second master bedroom. 

       The home has some super nice light fixtures. A fireplace in living room. A gas stove in the open kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, and plenty of custom cabinets and a pantry. The living and dining room are open. The security system is Smart Phone oriented. 

    The street has easy parking in front of the home. It is also an easy walk to Crescent Park on the Mississippi River and many other historic destinations in the neighborhood. It’s an easy bike ride to the Frencg Quarter.
