2430 CLARA ST

Fully renovated in 2022 — gutted to the studs and meticulously rebuilt — this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Central City home blends historic New Orleans charm with contemporary luxury, and the financing options here are genuinely exceptional for qualifying first-time buyers. Financing available: City of New Orleans Direct Homebuyer Soft Second (up to $55,000 forgivable + $5,000 closing cost assistance for eligible buyers at =80% AMI); FANO/FNO Green Mortgage DPA (up to $25,000); Louisiana Housing Corporation Pathways Soft Second; and special programs from First Horizon, Gulf Coast Bank, Hancock Whitney, and Fifth District Savings Bank — many pairing beautifully with FHA or conventional loans. High ceilings, rich engineered hardwood floors, modern finishes, and an open, light-filled layout carry through the main living spaces. The open-concept living area flows into a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, a large island with seating, and pendant lighting. The oversized primary suite features a jetted tub, walk-in shower, and double vanities. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Fully furnished. Steps from the French Quarter, CBD, and the heart of the city.
