Introducing The Acorn Cottage

I am happy to announce that after months of looking in the Uptown area, J and I are owners of a "new" house which will be called The Acorn Cottage. The home is located just a block and half from our current home. We lived in our home on Perrier Street for almost 10 years, the longest we have lived in any place together.







J and I closed on The Acorn Cottage on Friday. The tenant has until June 11 to move from the home. After that, there will be a complete overhaul of the property. The landscaping will change. You will be able to see the home. The burglar bars and blue siding will be removed. There will be character-adding embellishments to the facade such as a gaslight, a cupola, a copper awning, and a new floor to ceiling window. Here is a rendering of how the outside facade will appear after the changes:




Colors:




More will come as the renovations take place on the outside as well as the inside. I cannot wait for The Acorn Cottage to become our vision.

We looked for a one-story (check), a backyard to accommodate a pool (check), and off-street parking (nope), Two out of three ain't bad especially for the prime Uptown location which is one block closer to Napoleon Avenue and the Uptown parade route.





I hope you will follow along as I share the changes to The Acorn Cottage.


The Acorn Cottage, y'all!

  7. Good evening, Ron! Wow, I'm so excited for you and J! Can't wait to follow you on the renovations of the Acorn Cottage! I will miss seeing your home on Perrier, though. I wish I had the money to buy it, if it is for sale. We sold our condo on Jackson Avenue, and I so miss having a place to stay in NOLA. Have a great evening! Cheers! xoxo
