About 1221 Independence St
Light-filled New Orleans classic with a great floor plan! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was fully renovated from a shotgun double to a single family home 10 years ago with a smart layout for modern living, while still retaining its historic charm. A new Fortified roof and security system will help keep the insurance premium low, as will the X flood zone rating. Interior features include 11 foot ceilings, transom windows throughout, exposed-brick fireplaces, decorative stained glass, hardwood floors, a large pantry & laundry room, large closets (including a great walk-in in the primary suite) and stainless steel appliances. The backyard greenhouse is perfect for gardeners or aspiring gardeners and the covered back deck with an amazing jasmine vine is the perfect place to while away the hours on a beautiful day. Just a block and a half to St. Claude and a short walk to the numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, music venues and art galleries of the Bywater.
