A RARE ART DECO RETREAT. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in an exclusive one-entrance neighborhood off Highland Road, this striking 5-bedroom, 6-bath custom home is a true departure from the ordinary. With clean, simple lines and a sophisticated neutral palette, the home blends architectural elegance with modern comfort, offering both grand spaces for entertaining and intimate nooks for relaxation. The open and airy layout features expansive rooms bathed in natural light, wood floors throughout, and thoughtful details at every turn. The formal living and dining rooms set the stage for refined gatherings, while the oversized kitchen/breakfast/keeping area is the heart of the home — outfitted for the most discerning chef with granite countertops, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances (including double ovens, built-in fridge/freezer, warming drawer, microwave and gas cooktop), a large island with vegetable sink, and an abundance of storage. The adjacent butler’s pantry, complete with ice maker and second dishwasher, serves double duty as a wet bar, perfect for seamless entertaining. A light-filled keeping room with a wood-burning fireplace overlooks the serene backyard oasis, which includes a large gunite pool, hot tub and private treed area backing up to the Bluebonnet Swamp — a peaceful escape just minutes from city life. The luxurious primary suite includes a private sitting area with built-in bookcases and French doors opening to the rear patio and pool. Each additional bedroom features its own private bath and a full bath off the loggia is perfect for guests. One of the home’s most charming features is a tucked-away wine cellar — an intimate enclave with custom shelving and seating for tastings or quiet moments. If you're searching for something truly special — a home with character, elegance, and privacy — this one-of-a-kind property stands apart from the rest of Baton Rouge.
