About this home
Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom cottage in the sought-after Poet’s Corner neighborhood! Offering multiple living and entertaining areas, this versatile home is well-suited for a primary residence, investment property, or short-term rental. The living room is centered around a decorative brick fireplace and opens to the formal dining room. The kitchen features a convenient built-in bar overlooking the breakfast and keeping area, creating a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining. A separate, spacious den provides even more flexibility and leads directly to the covered back patio. The primary bedroom includes a private ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms share a full hall bathroom. Currently used as an office, the front bedroom offers a private entrance and large cedar closet, making it an excellent option for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Throughout the home, you’ll find distinctive details such as glass doorknobs, reclaimed antique beadboard, and a built-in pull-out ironing board. Outside, the large lot features a wood deck, covered carport, garage storage, ample parking, and a cedar-fenced backyard with plenty of private green space. Enjoy a prime location near restaurants, coffee shops, the Perkins Road Overpass Merchant District, City Park, and the LSU Lakes—with easy access to the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade festivities!
City Park, located between Perkins Road and Dalrymple Drive, is a residential and park-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with a canopy of live oaks and a lakeside greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Perkins Road Overpass corridor near Perkins Rd and Stanford Ave, where patios, coffee counters, and small dining rooms keep the sidewalks active. Mid-century ranch homes and classic Louisiana cottages sit on deep lots, with curving streets that follow the park’s edges. City Park Lake and the LSU Lakes shape daily routines with walking loops and paddle-friendly water. The City-Brooks Community Park Arts Center and Baton Rouge Gallery anchor the cultural calendar. The Chimes and The Bulldog bring a familiar, local rhythm to evenings along Perkins.
