Quaint Garden District Cottage that is so hard to come by. Sooo hard to find a home in GD for this price in really nice condition. Feel the ambiance of New Orleans in this small private rear courtyard.

We sold this adorable home to this lady in 1998 and she has done everything to improve and preserve its integrity and charm. Some rewiring done recently and new electric panel in Oct 2024. Roof is brand new in August 2026. Home has two old coal burning fireplace fronts, one in bedroom and one in diningroom where gas logs have been added. Bath has been remodeled with a claw foot tub and new pedestal sink. Front porch and landscaping is so desirable. New drainage system added. Estate Sale and is being sold in AS IS condition. You are going to LOVE this one.
Roseland Terrace, located between Government Street and Florida Boulevard, is a residential and historic Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, sidewalk-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Government Street corridor near Jefferson Highway, where porch-lit eateries, small galleries, and local bars set an after-work rhythm. Architectural details lean toward low-slung brick facades, deep carports, and generous front lawns that soften the street grid. City Park and the Baton Rouge Gallery add a cultural counterpoint to the everyday calm. The annual Mid City Makers Market at Circa 1857 brings a craft-forward pulse to nearby weekends. A short drive south, the LSU Museum of Art anchors bigger-city programming without changing the neighborhood’s quiet tone.
