If former New Orleanian Lenny Kravitz ever decided to move back, this might be the place he chose to call home.

This elegantly renovated circa-1800s converted double in Bywater comes in under budget at $389,000. In the front of the home, find a chandelier-hung dining room and living room.

St. Charles Avenue address? Check. Crystal chandelier and curving staircase with ample room to tuck a baby grand piano underneath? Check and check. Yes, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo provides everything you need to live like New Orleans royalty, except perhaps for the Rex membership.

This Uptown shotgun is cute, and it knows it’s cute. Sounds far-fetched, but how else can you explain the relentless assault of so many charming details? The working transoms! Open shelving!

The asking price for 1,231 square feet of cuteness is $389,000.

How about all those stylish new constructions going up in Chilly Gentilly? This might be the chicest of the bunch, thanks to touches like barn doors, skylights, and what appear to be decorative LED lights. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage covers 1,883 square feet and asks $389,000.
