What charm and character abounds in this adorable, well kept, 2 bedroom 2 bath home with mature oak and magnolia trees. It has a spacious living room with an archway leading to the over sized dining room. The kitchen features a gas stove and slate floors that extend to the breakfast area which overlooks the backyard with deck and covered patio. There is a sun-room/office just off the living room. The updated baths are wonderful. The original wood floors were refinished 3 months ago and the roof is only 2 years old. There is a wrought iron electronic gate with gas lanterns for your entry. Just minutes from LSU. You can walk or ride your bike to the LSU Lakes. Located within walking distance to restaurants & shopping. A great place to call home- University Gardens.
