This stunning Creole Cottage reinterpretation offers the perfect combination of historic charm and top-quality modern construction. Originally built in the late 19th century, the residence was transformed by a meticulous 2019 renovation and expansion designed by local firms MOD and Spruce . Situated in a premier Uptown pocket, the home is a short walk to Cherry Coffee, Wisner Playground, Whole Foods, and the vibrant Magazine Street corridor.

Custom iron gates lead through an inviting vestibule and foyer to a center hallway with vaulted ceilings, illuminated by skylights and lined with built-ins, setting the tone for the refined details found throughout. The heart of the home is an expansive, open-concept living area and eat-in kitchen designed for the serious chef or entertainer. The culinary space anchored by a 10-foot island features soft-close custom cabinetry and a high-end appliance suite - complete with a pot filler, warming drawer, and full-sized separate refrigerator and freezer units.

The thoughtful layout offers maximum flexibility. The second floor is dedicated to a primary retreat, featuring a spa-like bath, custom walk-in-closet, and an adjoining bonus room offering space for a second closet or nursery. A light-filled sunroom is ideal for a home gym, office, or private living area. The main level houses two additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a flexible 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath that doubles perfectly as a study or den.

Beauty goes beyond the surface with a new foundation, 2x6 construction, spray foam insulation, and sound attenuation between floors. Modern comforts abound with a whole-home air purification system, high-efficiency HVAC, and dual laundry rooms (upstairs and down).

Completing the package is an oversized screened porch with TV wall and custom outdoor kitchen outfitted with vented grill station, sink, and refrigerator; overlooking the secluded yard, finished with low-maintenance turf and mature landscaping.
