Description

Welcome to 1025 Congress, a gut-renovated raised single-family historic home in the heart of Bywater. Just one block from St. Claude Ave, this home offers historic charm with modern design and includes a detached studio for flexible living arrangements.

Inside, exposed brick and pocket doors showcase the home's history, while tasteful fixtures, butcher block countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a large pantry bring a fresh, modern feel. Built-in shelving and California Closet systems maximize storage and organization, and the efficient layout makes the interior both stylish and practical. High ceilings and natural light give the home an inviting sense of space.

An expansive rear porch with soaring ceilings and a wrap-around design serves as an outdoor living room, great for morning coffee or evening entertaining. At the back of the property, the detached studio--built with durable metal siding and a metal roof--includes its own full bathroom and closet, making it ideal as a guest suite, office, gym, workshop, or art studio.

For added peace of mind, the property has been pre-inspected and is ready for immediate move-in. With renovations complete and no immediate projects needed, you can start enjoying your Bywater lifestyle right away.

Located just steps from neighborhood eateries such as Bywater Bakery, Origen Bistro, Pizza Delicious, shops, and music venues, and minutes to Crescent Park, Frenchmen Street, and the French Quarter, this home offers both convenience and community. With its combination of character, modern design, and versatile spaces, your home is ready for you. Schedule your private showing today.
