This quintessential Acadian cottage was designed and built by famous local architect A. Hayes Town. If you like the charm of a Garden District style cottage, however, would like a large yard…you will love this home! It is located on ½ acres of land with pecan trees, stately oaks and is complete with wood privacy fencing, as well as an electronic gate. The interior of the home has wide-plank wood flooring, brick masonry wood burning fireplace, high ceilings with antique wood beams, cypress kitchen cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters in kitchen and baths, wood windows, walk-in closets. The large room upstairs would make a great office, study, game room or could be used as a 3rd bedroom. The covered front porch is very inviting with French doors, wood shutters, a swing and rocking chairs. The large rear covered porch-with custom magnetic screening installed on a track system allows for open air or enclosed screening- is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Cannot forget about the attached 2 car covered rear carport with workshop, AC, work bench and pegboard. Located near LSU, historic River Rd, and downtown Baton Rouge. Don’t miss out on this one!
