Charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath Old Metairie cottage with a detached office/guest space with half bath. An open floor plan showcases hardwood floors and 8-foot ceilings. The kitchen flows into the dining area and a comfortable family room featuring a gas fireplace and a separate bar niche. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath, and French-door access to a covered rear deck that extends your living area outdoors and overlooks the backyard. The detached 378-sq-ft guest house includes two rooms and a half bath, ideal for a home office, art studio, or gym. Additional highlights include Flood Zone X and a 2019 roof.
Causeway, located between Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Lake Pontchartrain, is a commercial and residential Metairie neighborhood with a lakefront edge and a corridor of offices and retail. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates at Causeway Boulevard and Veterans Memorial Boulevard, where mid-rise towers, local restaurants, and service storefronts line wide, fast-moving streets. Longue Vue House & Gardens and the Jefferson Performing Arts Center add cultural weight beyond the shopping strips. Housing trends toward mid-century ranches and low-rise condos, with pockets of newer townhome-style infill. The Causeway Bridge frames the geography, turning the lake into a daily backdrop. Sidewalks and multi-lane boulevards shape a car-forward rhythm, while nearby parks soften the pace.
