Centrally located in the vibrant Bywater neighborhood, this historic shotgun double offers a blend of classic charm and modern convenience. The property features two distinct units: a spacious 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom residence on one side, and a cozy 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit on the other- perfect for homeowners seeking an income-producing opportunity or multi-generational living arrangements.? You'll have peace of mind with a roof that's just 3 years old, brand new gutters, and a new HVAC system—all recent improvements that enhance the home's comfort and efficiency while preserving its historic integrity. The property also includes an accessory building that has been divided into two spaces: one side is finished with electricity and is currently used as a music room—but would also be ideal for an art studio, fitness space, office or creative workspace. The other side offers excellent storage potential. Located just a couple of blocks from the Mississippi River, enjoy scenic walks and easy access to Crescent Park as well as notable nearby establishments like Bywater Bakery, The Country Club, Bacchanal and N7. Schedule a viewing today to experience the charm of this beautiful Bywater home.
