Spare and stylish, a Bywater side hall single wants $575K - [Curbed New Orleans - All]

Cute and quirky on the outside, charmingly simple on the inside

Is there any architectural style that balances a classic New Orleans home footprint with the demands of modern living more perfectly than a side hall shotgun? The rectangular configuration of rooms maximizes the square footage of the city’s long, skinny lots, while a side hall offers privacy.

This 1,887-square-foot shotgun on Gallier Street couldn’t have a simpler floor plan. The entrance leads to a side hall that spans almost the entire length of the three-bedroom, two bathroom abode. Enter the recessed, transom-topped front door and pass a double parlor that serves as a living and dining room. Next, find a kitchen, and two bedrooms. At the very end of the hall, spanning the entire width of the home, there’s a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

The vibe is spare yet quaintly rustic, thanks to touches like mantels, crown molding, transoms, and heart pine floors. Twelve-foot ceilings are present throughout the home. Out back, there’s a brick patio resplendent with many potted plants. A rear shed amps up the courtyard vibes and could serve as storage or a place to hang out. Located in the trendiest pocket of the trendiest neighborhood, the shotgun wants $575,000.
