    Overview

    This unique, oversized property offers two separate single shotgun homes in historic Bayou St. John. Each home benefits from recent improvements, including Fortified Roofs and completed foundation work, providing an attractive foundation for an owner-occupant or investor. The property sits on an expansive lot with a privacy fence, mature cypress trees, and additional landscaping. A covered patio area supports outdoor living, while a detached shed includes recent sheetrock and electrical upgrades, making it well-suited for storage, a workshop, or creative use.

    The homes are located just blocks from Bayou St. John and the Fairgrounds, with convenient access to the French Quarter, Downtown, and Uptown. An ideal combination of neighborhood character and practical connectivity, the setting supports strong long-term appeal for renters and buyers seeking a residential income property with outdoor space.

    With two separate units, this duplex format can fit a range of strategies, from long-term rental income to living in one home while generating revenue from the other. The outdoor amenities and updated shed add functional value beyond the structures themselves, while the recent roof and foundation work help reduce near-term deferred maintenance concerns. For buyers looking for a rare two-home setup within a desirable New Orleans pocket, this property is worth a serious look.
