Charming South Downs Traditional — Fully Renovated & Move-In Ready 4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | Carport Welcome to this beautifully renovated traditional home nestled in the highly sought-after South Downs neighborhood — one of Baton Rouge's most beloved and walkable communities. Situated just one block from Acadian Thruway, this property offers unbeatable convenience with Trader Joe's, popular bars, and local restaurants all within walking distance. Families will love the proximity to multiple elementary and middle schools, along with easy access to Catholic High, St. Joseph's Academy, and LSU — all less than 2 miles away. This home was completely renovated in 2013, featuring all-new electrical, new plumbing, HVAC, refinished oak hardwood floors, and new HardiPlank exterior siding — built to last and virtually maintenance-free. A thoughtfully designed addition expanded the footprint to include a spacious master suite, dedicated laundry room with sink and second refrigerator, mud room, dedicated water heater and HVAC, and covered carport.

Inside, the open floor plan flows effortlessly and is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining with a large dining living area with a gas fireplace installed as part of the renovations. The kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, a large center island, and granite countertops, all open to a comfortable sitting room — perfect for casual mornings or evening gatherings. Step outside to your own private retreat: a large screened back porch, open patio, and a sprawling backyard complete with a half basketball court — a rare find and a dream for active families. Out front, a concrete circular driveway adds curb appeal and convenience. * * * See documents for list of updates * * *

Southdowns, located between Highland Road and Perkins Road, is a residential and collegiate Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and oak-canopied streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Perkins Road Overpass corridor near Perkins Rd and Stanford Ave, where patios, small bars, and chef-driven kitchens line the sidewalk. The Chimes, The Bulldog, and Overpass Merchant serve as local pillars for food, drinks, and late-night conversation. Brick cottages and low-slung ranches sit on deep lots, with sidewalks that link to nearby parks and campus edges. A short drive leads to LSU’s museums and game-day energy, while the streets stay calm and shaded. Daily routines often orbit coffee runs, bike rides, and porch time under live oaks.
