Tucked away in one of New Orleans’ most sought-after neighborhoods, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick ranch feels like a country retreat right in the city. Oozing with personality, the home features original hardwood floors, exposed brick accents, and a dreamy statement wall complete with built-in shelves and a cozy fireplace.
Sip your morning coffee in the sunroom while gazing out at the sprawling backyard—yep, those are real fruit trees giving major farmhouse-in-the-city energy. The lot is just over a quarter acre, which is practically a unicorn in Gentilly. Whether you're an aspiring plant whisperer or just someone who loves outdoor space, the backyard is a blank canvas ready for your green thumb (or that future pool, she-shed, or jungle gym you’ve been daydreaming about). The land also includes a peach tree, fig tree, guava tree, olive tree, grapefruit tree, and purple hibiscus.
The kitchen’s been updated, the bathrooms are modern, the roof and furnace are both newer—so you can move right in or start adding your personal flair. Bonus: there’s a utility shower in the laundry room, perfect for cooling off after a sweaty garden sesh or muddy kid adventure.
Want to stretch your legs? City Park, the Lakefront, and levee trails are all within strolling distance. This peaceful pocket of the city feels like a hidden gem—and the seller’s ready to make a deal. So if you're looking for charm, space, and location all wrapped up in one adorable package, this might just be the one.
