House of the Week: Arts & Crafts on St. Roch Ave.

March 25, 2021 No Comments

I’ve been posting a lot of dream houses lately, homes that are so out of my financial reach they make me ache. Rather than torturing myself with what I can’t have, I thought I’d peruse some more realistic options. That’s when I happened upon this most delightful arts and crafts […]

House of the week: Shotgun on Flood Street

April 29, 2015 No Comments

Depression has set in and I can’t avoid it. Unless I suddenly write a bestselling novel, win the lotto or have a rich relative die and leave me a fat inheritance, there is no way in hell I’ll ever be able to afford a house in New Orleans. Regardless of […]

House of the week: Shotgun on North Rampart St.

March 30, 2015 No Comments

Have you ever experienced love at first sight? I have, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Yes, I am head-over-heels in love with an object. More specifically, I am in love with a house. This IS my house. This is what I picture when I dream about the perfect […]

House of the week: Shotgun on Urquhart Street

November 19, 2013 No Comments

My dad would rather pay for something useful, as opposed to something frivolous, so instead of a wedding, I’m getting enough for a down payment on a house and to be perfectly honest, I’m as happy as a clam. But, being this close to my lifelong dream of owning a […]

House of the week: Shotgun on Coliseum Street

October 7, 2013 1 Comment

“If only I could have bought a house ten years ago.” This thought keeps running through my brain, especially when I see houses like this one. Located near the corner of Dufossat and Coliseum, this single, shotgun “cottage” is so beautiful and so quaint (only a bit more than 1300 […]

House of the week: Shotgun on France Street

October 25, 2012 No Comments

Even though the area is a tad sketchy and it’s located WAY out in Bywater, almost to the canal, I can’t help oohing and ahhing over this adorable little shotgun. It has original pine wood floors, high ceilings, exposed brick fireplace and a cute backyard perfect for barbecuing and boils. […]

House of the week: Victorian double on Annunciation

June 11, 2012 1 Comment

Location, location, location…it is one of the key stipulations when it comes to buying a house. While most of the homes I have posted have been in what I believe are wonderful locales, there are occasions when I wish I could pick the house up and plop it down in […]

House of the week: Shotgun double on Toledano Street

August 31, 2011 No Comments

I’m gonna admit it right off the bat, I think this house is priced a bit high at $250,000, but it’s sooo cute I couldn’t help posting about it. It’s a shotgun double at the Tchoupitoulas end of Toledano Street with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on each side and […]

House of the week: Shotgun double on Cambronne Street

June 15, 2011 No Comments

Only five, short blocks away from my apartment is a gorgeous shotgun double for sale near the corner of Cambronne and Birch Streets. Built in 1916, it features hardwood floors, high ceilings and it appears as if a lot of the original architectural detail is intact. Both of the kitchens […]

House of the week: Riverbend “beach cottage” style double

May 24, 2011 No Comments

I’ve been watching this house while it’s been renovated over the past couple of years. It’s only a few blocks away from where I live now in the Riverbend area and every time I walk my dog, I can’t help but gawk at homes in my ‘hood I’d love to […]

Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar felt New Orleans calling her home as soon as she hit puberty. A graduate of granola U (a.k.a. Sonoma State University) with a BA in English and a concentration in Creative Writing, Kim took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves.

After over seventeen years as a transplant — surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions — Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.
