About this home
A magnificent live oak anchors the front lawn of this thoughtfully updated brick home in Melrose the kind of canopy you simply can't plant and wait for. Inside, the renovation is done and done right: a new roof, new water heater, wide-plank flooring, fresh paint throughout, and can lighting across the main living areas. The living area opens to the dining space and is centered on a brick fireplace flanked by original built-in shelving, with an oversized picture window framing the oak out front. The kitchen features quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry with brass hardware, floating shelves, a tiled backsplash carried to the ceiling, and all-new stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms, two fully renovated baths, plus a bonus room that works as a home office, nursery, or fourth bedroom. The primary bath offers a double vanity and a tiled walk-in shower with rainfall and handheld fixtures; the second bath pairs a soaking tub with its own double vanity. Out back, a deep covered porch with brick paver flooring overlooks a large, level yard with a second live oak and plenty of room to spread out. Move-in ready with real character intact schedule your showing today.
East Fairfields-Melrose Place, located between Government Street and Florida Boulevard, is a residential and commercial Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a tree-lined street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Government Street near the Mid City Beer Garden, where patios, small eateries, and local hangouts set an after-work rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward brick one-stories, shaded lots, and pockets of small apartment courts. A short drive west, the Baton Rouge Gallery anchors the arts calendar with rotating exhibitions and events. Nearby, the Goodwood Library adds a calm, design-forward public space for reading rooms and community programming. Daily errands cluster along the Government Street corridor, while side streets stay quiet and green.
