What This House Offers
Talk about charming! Tucked into one of downtown's most beloved historic neighborhoods-Ransom Place-just moments from the Canal, Cultural Trail, and the energy... of the city. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home blends classic architecture with thoughtful updates, creating a space that feels both grounded and easy. Original details like hardwood floors, transom windows, pocket doors, and a fireplace bring character, while the open, light-filled kitchen-with custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, stainless appliances, and skylights-keeps daily life feeling bright and connected. Each bedroom has its own attached bath, offering flexibility for guests, shared living, or a private retreat setup. Laundry is available in unit. Outside, the home opens to a fully fenced courtyard-style front yard with a round brick patio perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Another side patio and a back deck with a lovely expanse of yard, fully fenced, makes a magic spot for a downtown dog-owner. The oversized two-car garage makes this a unique gem. With the landscaping covered by the landlord, you get all the best parts of a house with non of the downsides!
