1310 Ashland Dr Baton Rouge, LA 70806

Welcome to one of Mid City's best neighborhoods. Located close to St. Luke's, Our Lady of Mercy, Towne Center and the interstate, Tara's sidewalk-lined streets call you home. This home opens up with a grand entrance: double front doors, a brick foyer & New Orleans style wrought iron staircase with floating stairs. The open kitchen/living area is ideal for sharing life. Storage abounds in this home - generous closet space is available on both the first and second floors. In addition to the master, there is a large room on the first level that was used as a study/additional living area (also a bedroom and dining room in the past). Consistently maintained, this home was freshly painted before listing. All new insulated vinyl windows were installed less than 5 years ago, increasing the home's energy efficiency. A bricked courtyard draws you to a tranquil shaded backyard (with mature blueberry bushes), perfect for sitting back and sipping a drink while listening to the birds sing. Under the contiguous roof (not counted in the living square footage), are the laundry room, garage apartment, and workshop/storage room. (Note- the owners have loved the laundry room’s location across the breezeway from the back door, keeping the heat and noise out of the main house. A value-add option for future owners is to attach the laundry room and increase the official living area by simply adding 2 doors.) Tara subdivision also offers a pool and tennis courts with an adjacent park. Come experience it for yourself!
