Historic Shotgun Cottage in Uptown New Orleans

Step into New Orleans history in this beautifully restored 1880s shotgun house, built from reclaimed barge boards once floated down the Mississippi. Nestled in the tranquil Black Pearl neighborhood near Tulane and Loyola Universities, this one-bedroom retreat offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with 12-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and tall windows that flood the home with natural light.

The inviting living space is thoughtfully designed with both style and comfort in mind. A new Crate & Barrel sofa, two cozy swivel chairs, and a Smart TV create a welcoming atmosphere for evenings in. The antique dining table seats six, while the fully equipped kitchen makes dining at home effortless. A dedicated desk ensures convenience for those working remotely, while decorative touches and antiques infuse the space with authentic New Orleans character.

The serene bedroom features a queen pillow-top mattress with luxury linens, ensuring restful nights. The large bathroom includes a tub/shower combo and in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience. Every detail has been carefully curated to provide comfort while maintaining the unique personality of this historic cottage.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with two porches (front and side) perfect for sipping coffee or cocktails, and a grassy backyard offering space to relax. Off-street parking is available, while the walkable neighborhood puts you just steps away from city highlights.

Located only three blocks from Audubon Park, you’ll have easy access to its walking and running trails, golf course, lakes, and zoo. Magazine Street’s shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away, and the St. Charles Streetcar is close by, whisking you straight into the French Quarter and Downtown. This is the perfect home base for soaking in the city’s rich culture, history, and charm.
