About This Home

A rare Baton Rouge original on an exceptional lot. Step into a piece of Baton Rouge history at this distinctive Acadian home, tucked away on one of the most beautiful and private stretches of Southdowns. Set on an expansive lot shaded by mature live oaks, this 4-bedroom, 21/2-bath home offers a rare combination of historic character, generous living space, privacy, and a location that puts the best of the city within easy reach. The home sits along the Mardi Gras parade route, offering front row enjoyment to the most fun and family-friendly parade in the entire city all year. Inside, the home is filled with the details that make classic Baton Rouge homes so special: beautiful heart-of-pine floors, soaring ceilings, classic millwork, crown molding, transoms, original-style doors and cabinetry, and an inviting sense of scale that simply cannot be replicated in new construction. The thoughtful 2019 renovation brought important modern improvements while preserving the home's distinctive Louisiana character. The spacious floor plan provides four bedrooms plus flexible living and work spaces, making the home equally well suited for everyday family life or entertaining. The kitchen opens naturally to the living areas, while the home's abundance of windows brings in views of the surrounding greenery and mature trees. An expansive screened porch creates a true outdoor living room--an ideal spot for morning coffee, long dinners, watching the kids play, or enjoying the quiet of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The deep lot provides an uncommon sense of space and privacy, with room to enjoy the property as it is or envision future possibilities. Located in the heart of 70808, this is a home for someone who values architecture, trees, land, and a genuine sense of place. Properties with this combination of historic character, scale, privacy, and location rarely come available. A special home with a story to tell--and room for its next chapter.
