Description

Located in the Historical Section of Old Gretna this could be for you. Off street parking for at least 3 vehicles. This historical home has lots of charm and character. You also have your yard space. Listen the beautiful bells from St. Joseph. Wood floors, high ceilings and colorful transoms over some of the doors. It once was used an Air B&B. Large laundry room and eat-in kitchen. Typical of this semi shot-gun house, you can be creative on how to use the rooms.
