939 7th Street, New Orleans, LA 70115

Description

They just don't make 'em like they used to. This rare, stunning 1830s Creole Cottage has been lovingly restored to withstand the test of time while preserving the inimitable character that defines New Orleans. One of the first original brick-and-stucco structures in the Irish Channel, 939 Seventh/2926 Constance occupies a coveted corner mere steps from one of the most walkable & desirable stretches of Magazine St.

Thoughtfully configured as two private residences with separate entrances on opposite sides of the property, each 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath unit feels more like its own private home than a traditional double. The larger Seventh St unit opens through French doors into a storied living space framed by exposed historic brick, tongue-and-groove wainscoting, & original casement windows. The newly renovated custom kitchen features floor-to-ceiling cabinets, island with granite countertops, ss appliances, Bevolo light fixtures & recessed refrigerator maximizing space.

Downstairs, a bedroom off the kitchen features cork flooring and an ensuite full bath. Upstairs, a spacious private loft bedroom has attached bath w custom tile shower, in-unit laundry and built-out closet for ample storage.

The rear unit, accessible through a Constance Street gate, offers its own distinct charm with newly refinished wood floors downstairs, an ensuite bedroom and bath with exposed brick, and a large, light-filled loft bedroom with second full bath.

Out back, each unit enjoys its own private brick patio. The larger residence features a spacious courtyard with a new built-in grill, misting fans & private access to the street accessible garage complete with electric & AC, an exceptionally versatile space for a motorcycle, bikes, tools, kayaks, workout equipment and more.

The street-facing windows are outfitted with wood shutters secured by cast-iron latches, offering privacy and security while accentuating the home's unmistakable historic character. Roof 2020, X flood zone.
