This spacious cottage is located adjacent to the historical courthouse and sheriff's office and down the street where the Chalmette National Monument and Cemetery are located. The cottage is actually situated where the Battle of New Orleans/ War of 1812 was fought so it’s sitting on national history property! The home is 110 years old but renovated and it’s a real treasure! The neighborhood is mixed with office and residential properties and offers tranquility features that is noticed as soon as you turn down the street. The floor to ceiling windows adorned with drapes gives a sense of southern elegance. It is for sure Instagram worthy and makes for a unique place for brides to get ready, family to stay or even a girls trip because of its design style!
