## Description

### Agent Description
This super cute and affordable shotgun cottage features updated kitchen and baths and a new FORTIFIED ROOF. Its flexible floor plan is currently used as a one bedroom with an artist studio but can easily be a two bedroom with a little creativity and vision. Tucked behind a quaint, white picket fence with a gated driveway for multiple vehicles, this home also offers a lovely, private front porch perfect for morning coffee and visiting with friends and neighbors. The yard space is a very low maintenance blank slate just waiting for your touch. Easy access to downtown and the French Quarter via St Claude Ave or N Claiborne Ave. X flood zone.
