5950 Sevenoaks Ave Baton Rouge, LA 70806

Designed by A Hays Town for a decorator designer Nell Fetzer, city attorney and noted artist Ed Fetzer. The home sits on a large property in Old Goodwood. Influenced by their travels in Spain and Mexico, the house was built in the early seventies of thick plaster walls and tile roofs. As wealthy in Mexico and Spain built their houses there are a simple front for privacy. The beauty is inside. When you open the carved front doors there is an Atrium with covered porches and doors that open into the major areas of the house. There are two wings connected by the 20 x 40 living room which has vaulted exposed beamed ceiling. There are hand carved wooden doors and tiled floors throughout the home. Living room and the library look out to the stucco walled large garden and 2 storied guest house. Each floor in the guest house has a separate apartment. The right wind dining room with vaulted ceilings has a walled garden. The kitchen has Mexican tiles on counters and back splash. Behind the kitchen is a large family room and half bath. The left wing has 2 large BR each with its own bath, plus the master has its own fireplace and a view of the large back yard. The home and gardens are unique and very private behind the stucco walls.
