About 6218 Douglas St

Step into the timeless charm of this historic Holy Cross shotgun home, brimming with New Orleans character inside and out. Nestled just two blocks from the Mississippi River, this beautiful yet practical 2-bedroom, 1-bath home awaits her next loving owner. Fully renovated in 2016, all major systems—including HVAC, roof, electrical, plumbing, and appliances—are less than 10 years old. Exposed bargeboard walls, heart of pine floors, and 12-foot ceilings are accented by elegant crown molding, recessed lighting and plantation shutters. The open kitchen, equipped with GE appliances, makes hosting a breeze, while the bathroom showcases floor-to-ceiling tile. Two spacious bedrooms feature a custom closet and access to a laundry room for added storage. Emerge from the rear bedroom into your own lush, subtropical retreat. Sweet olive, gardenia, bottle brush, fruiting pawpaw, and native honeysuckle bloom beneath the shaded canopy of this New Orleans garden. The extra-deep lot provides plenty of space to spread out, entertain, or make your own mark—add a workshop, a pool, or even expand the home. Enjoy daily strolls along the levee at Jackson Barracks to unwind as the boats float by. Grab a drink at Old Arabi Bar, picnic at the Delery playground, or head to the nearby dog park. 10 minutes by bike along the River to Bywater, 10-15 minutes by car to the French Quarter. House is in an X flood zone and has a transferable termite contract. Alleyways are shared with great neighbors. Plenty of street parking. Agent is married to owner.
