2063 Rue Venelle, Baton Rouge, LA 70808

This custom-built New Orleans-style home was originally constructed as builder's personal residence and is loaded with thoughtful upgrades including a whole-house generator and perimeter security camera system. What truly sets this home apart is the way it lives outdoors. A nice side patio--designed as a private, everyday retreat--features a retractable screen, gas grill, swing seating, and space for an outdoor TV, creating the perfect setting for relaxing evenings, entertaining guests, or game days at home. In addition, the classic Southern front porch and upper balcony provide even more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and are not street facing. Inside, the home opens to spacious great room with plantation shutters, custom drapery, and a fireplace flanked by built-ins. The adjacent gourmet kitchen boasts a brand new GE dishwasher, Wolf range, pot filler, large island with designer lighting, exotic granite, and beveled tile backsplash. Downstairs primary suite is a private retreat with updated flooring and a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a custom tiled shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a generous walk-in closet. The nearby laundry room includes built-ins, a wine cooler, and excellent storage. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile bonus room, three additional bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. One bedroom includes a private ensuite, while the others enjoy access to a balcony with beautiful sunset views. Located in a highly desirable community with resort-style amenities including a pool, fitness center, Silo Farm garden, playgrounds, and clubhouse, this home offers a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and everyday livability--inside and out. ** Recently refreshed with exterior paint (2024), interior paint, fresh upstairs paint, and new upstairs carpet **.
