House of the week: Shotgun on France Street

Even though the area is a tad sketchy and it's located WAY out in Bywater, almost to the canal, I can't help oohing and ahhing over this adorable little shotgun. It has original pine wood floors, high ceilings, exposed brick fireplace and a cute backyard perfect for barbecuing and boils.

Although it is rather close to St. Claude, it's also just a few blocks to The Joint, Vaughan's, Jack Dempsey's and Bacchanal. This precious little gem is listed at $220,000, which I think is a bit high considering it only has two bedrooms and is a tad over 1,100 square feet of living space. Sigh...it's still a delightfully charming abode nonetheless!
