About This Home
As of June 2013HOT DEAL!! WHAT A SHOWPLACE!!! This custom built home has it all!!! It has been beautifully updated featuring 3 bedrooms plus office and 2 baths. The kitchen offers plenty of working space with center island, tons of cabinet/storage space with recently updated stainless steel appliances. No need to put the extra fridge in the storage room! Another really cool feature of the kitchen offers the ability to have 2 refrigerators stand side by side with both fitting in the unique custom cased opening. The home also includes a large sunken in living room highlighted by bricked corner fireplace. Seller has recently had all carpet steam cleaned as well as installed new ceramic tile flooring in both bathrooms to make this house absolutely move in ready. There is tons of storage space throughout this house, and all of the bedrooms are extra-large with oversized walk in closets. This is a very highly energy efficient home with very low monthly utility bills even in the summer months. A huge plus is its fully enclosed garage (one of the only houses in the neighborhood with this feature) with huge storage room and windows overlooking the covered patio and huge backyard. Also, the seller just installed French Drains. It sits on a large perfectly manicured lot with fenced in backyard. Another outstanding feature of Wedgewood Subdivision is the easy access from multiple locations of town. There is a subdivision Entrance/Exit from Millerville with easy access to Interstate 12, S. Harrells Ferry, and O'Neal. The architectural shingled roof is nearly brand new having just been installed 3 years ago. Also, it is important to mention that this is one of the few remaining "sidewalk subdivisions' in the greater Baton Rouge area. This home has been meticulously taken care of and is in perfect condition. Just off O'Neal and close to interstate (I-12)this established neighborhood is convenient to everything.
