GREAT OPPORTUNITY to snag this classic craftsman style 3BR 2Bath home and bring it back to life. The messy demo work has already been done for you, so it's ready to pick up where the demolition left off. The home already has a NEW ROOF, NEW WINDOWS, NEW Kitchen Island, NEW Kitchen Cabinets (to be installed), NEW AC DUCTS, NEW TUBS & TOILETS, NEW WATER HEATER, Some NEW WIRING, NEW PLUMBING and NEW Composite deck on front porch. And the laundry room is inside and has been enlarged. Beautiful wood floors are in tact. For a qualified owner-occupant, this home should qualify for a FHA 203K loan to finish the renovations. Or an investor could make it shine for a rental. Home ownership is the American Dream and the price on this home could make it attainable for you. Call today for more details.

Fairfields, located between Government Street and Interstate 10, is a residential and university-adjacent Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, sidewalk-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Government Street corridor near Jefferson Highway, where coffee counters, indie eateries, and small storefronts keep the street scene active. Architectural lines lean low and horizontal, with deep front lawns and mature oaks shaping a calm streetscape. The daily rhythm ties closely to nearby campus energy and the arts-and-food strip on Government. Community pillars nearby include The Varsity Theatre, Baton Rouge Gallery – Center for Contemporary Art, and Rocca Pizzeria.
