About this home
Nestled in the heart of University Hills, this exceptional 1920s cottage offers a rare blend of timeless architectural character and modern convenience, situated just steps from Louisiana State University and Tiger Stadium. Surrounded by mature landscaping, highlighted by century-old Camellia trees, the home welcomes you with exceptional curb appeal and lush front gardens. Inside, preserved historic elements take center stage, including original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and classic crown molding. While maintaining its original soul, the residence has been meticulously cared for, featuring a newly installed HVAC system for optimal comfort and peace of mind. The versatile second level boasts an expansive open area, currently serving as a primary bedroom and home office, offering endless possibilities for custom configuration as a home office, guest suite, or flex space. This is an extraordinary opportunity for buyers seeking authentic craftsmanship, modern updates, and premier walkability in one of Baton Rouge’s most established neighborhoods.
College Town, located between LSU’s main campus and the Mississippi River levee, is a residential and campus-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with oak-shaded streets and a walk-to-coffee rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Highland Road near Lee Drive, where patios, bike traffic, and late-night bites set the tempo. The Chimes anchors game-day tradition, while The Varsity Theatre and Highland Coffees keep the calendar and caffeine steady. Housing leans to mid-century ranches, compact cottages, and small apartment courts tucked behind mature trees. Sidewalks and the levee path shape daily routines, with pockets of green at nearby parks and campus quads.
