About This Home
Welcome to one of Capital Heights' most charming and beautifully updated homes, where timeless character meets modern style in one of Baton Rouge's most desirable neighborhoods. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers an inviting floor plan filled with natural light, thoughtfully designed living spaces, and upgrades you'll appreciate from the moment you walk through the door. The show stopping kitchen is truly the centerpiece of the home, featuring stunning quartz countertops, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, open shelving, abundant prep space, and a layout perfect for everything from casual dinners to entertaining family and friends. Rich flooring flows throughout the home with no carpet, creating a clean, cohesive look that's both stylish and low maintenance. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful escape, privately situated away from the secondary bedrooms and complete with direct access to the back deck--perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Generously sized guest bedrooms, ample closet space, and a convenient half bath add to the home's functionality. Outside, you'll fall in love with the welcoming front porch swing shaded by mature trees, while the backyard deck provides the ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxing evenings, or watching spectacular Louisiana sunsets. Energy-efficient features help keep utility costs in check, making this home as practical as it is beautiful. Location is everything, and this one delivers. Just a short stroll to Goodwood Park with tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground, and only one block from the popular White Light Night festivities. Enjoy walking or biking to some of Mid City's favorite restaurants and gathering spots including Curbside Burgers, Mid City Beer Garden, Brew Ha-Ha!, Soji, Elsie's Plate & Pie, Superior Grill, and more. Plus, you're only minutes from Downtown Baton Rouge, LSU, shopping, and entertainment.
