Welcome to 1025 Congress, a gut-renovated raised single-family historic home in the heart of Bywater. Just one block from St. Claude Ave, this home offers historic charm with modern design and includes a detached studio for flexible living arrangements.
Inside, exposed brick and pocket doors showcase the home's history, while tasteful fixtures, butcher block countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a large pantry bring a fresh, modern feel.
