1600-1602 Louisa St, New Orleans, LA, 70117
About This Home
Updated but historic, you have got to check out this home that was formerly a corner store. Currently set up as a single family home, this property can be easily turned into a fully separate, income-producing duplex again by simply sealing the French doors between the two units. Each half of the house has its own kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and meters. The 1602 side was fully renovated in 2017. The kitchen and bathroom in the 1600 side was added in 2024. The current owners completed the attic in 2025 to provide an additional 930sqft of living space. This property offers flexibility and multiple opportunities depending on the buyer. It is currently being lived in as a duplex, but just open the French doors between the two units for a luxurious, open, airy single family home. Amazing location, quick interstate access, 6 year old roof, large backyard, & gated off-street parking? This one is a no-brainer. Come see it in person to get a feel for one of the most interesting layouts you've probably seen in a while.
