1185 Magnolia Wood Ave Baton Rouge, LA 70808

Country living in the heart of the city! Freshly painted exterior! This unique cedar home is tucked away on a dead-end in Magnolia Woods. The picturesque natural setting makes you forget you are actually in the heart of Baton Rouge. With a rustic exterior and plenty of charm and style within: A wall of cypress cabinetry and grand cypress beams in the kitchen, new granite countertops and island, brick flooring, slate flooring, gleaming oak flooring, two working fireplaces, enormous master suite and bath, three additional bedrooms and bonus room, plus office, with views of the lush lawn from virtually every room. The kitchen also has stainless appliances and a dine-in bar, all overlooking the front landscape through a wall of windows. On a split level is the den with 6 windows overlooking the large, new rear deck and recently constructed multi-storied playhouse, fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and custom showcase lighting. The master has a masonry faux fireplace for charm, new wood-look tile, 2 oversized walk-in closets, office/sitting/fitness area, and spa bath. With a split-vaulted ceiling, open Jacuzzi, crisp travertine flooring and tub surround, double sinks, private water closet, separate shower and make-up vanity, the bath itself is a spa retreat. As the last house on the street, privacy is paramount. The house has two new HVAC systems, installed in 2016, new windows on both sides of the house, new front steps and entry-way, new gated courtyard, new fencing in the backyard, and a host of other improvements. The lot itself is large, at 0.63 acres, and the adjacent lot belongs to the Magnolia Wood Aquatic Club, providing a buffer from the pool, and, through the double gates in the backyard, even more acreage for children to play. This home was custom built with character that has only become more unique over time.
