This Southdowns cottage has an awesome open floor plan and tons of light flowing throughout. The spacious living room leads to the shared dining/breakfast and eat-in kitchen. A large island is the focus of this bright kitchen, which also includes a gas range, sink window overlooking the huge back yard, plenty of cabinets and a spacious pantry. A hallway leads to two updated full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Bathrooms were renovated just a few years ago by the previous owner, who also refinished all the wood floors, installed new carpet in the bedrooms, reinforced the pier & beam foundation and installed ALL new double-pane windows! This home also features vinyl siding for minimal maintenance, fresh painted rooms (w/in 2 yrs), a nice open patio area, a separate charming workshop and a fenced yard w/ a productive satsuma tree. This historic neighborhood is conveniently located to LSU and many other schools, I-10, Lee Dr., Perkins Rd., plenty of great restaurants/shops and the new Rouzan development w/ a grocery store, library and lots more coming!
