Built in 1938, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage in Algiers Point sits on a large, fenced lot a block from the levee. Cheery and vintage touches abound, including a clawfoot tub, wood floors, wrought iron trimming, and interior shutters. It’s asking $173,900.

This former photography studio and event space one block north of St. Claude Avenue in Bywater asks $160,000. Its simple 1,728-square foot floor plan consists of one large, ceiling-fan lined main room, two bathrooms, and a small, cluttered office in the rear. It doesn’t have water service or a meter right now. The listing says it does offer a “clean slate” for its next owner, who could convert it into a single-family home, studio, or commercial space.

If a new renovation is on your wish list, here’s a two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage that fits the bill in Holy Cross. Its marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, open floor plan, and stainless-steel appliances are on-trend touches that belie its 1968 build date. It’s listed for $169,900.

This former church in Fontainebleau needs a lot of TLC (read: a total renovation). But once it’s restored to its former glory, it will boast a long, narrow first floor sanctuary and a second floor occupied by twin shotgun-style apartments, each with a sunroom, foyer, living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms. Federal tax credits can potentially fund 40 percent of renovation costs—and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more interesting space to call home. Built in 1928 with 3,928 square feet, the church costs $168,000.
