About this home

The charm of yesteryear abounds in this charming home. Located on a tree shaded boulevard in the Garden District in Old South Baton Rouge, it is everything you wished for in an older home. As you enter you will be welcomed by the lovely living room opening onto the dining room with an inviting sunroom beyond it. Then proceed to the gourmet kitchen which was updated about 5 years ago. Granite counters, a stainless steel range to die for. Continue your tour on into the light and sunny den with a myriad of windows. There are 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths. You will be surprised as you view the large screened porch with patios on both sides. The nostalgia of days gone by meets you everywhere in this treasure. See it today, own it tomorrow.
