515 Jean Lafitte Ave, Baton Rouge, LA 70810

What a FIND in a wonderful Highland Road area neighborhood. Very seldom does anything pop up in Lafitte Hill. Sloping lot with numerous shade trees. Have you ever wanted a front porch, well this little jewel has a 66 x 9.6 front porch. Talk about the entertainment area on cool days. Home was moved in 1984 to its current location by the estate owners. Much of the homes construction came from Old Historic buildings in BR. including the Istrouma Hotel. The vintage door handles(solid brass) and marble floors in baths came from the Hotel Bar. Materials were collected for years by the family. Wait until you see the front windows on the home. Absolutely stunning!!!! Kitchen was updated in 2015 by owners and consist of tile floors, gas cooktop, large granite island and tremendous amount of cabinets for storage. It even has a 11 x 12 utility room that also served as a hobby room for the homeowner. Baths have updates of granite and marble and double sinks. Vintage wood floors throughout the bedroom wing and den. Many wood built ins in the home. You also have a bonus area of an upstairs that is 780 sq ft that easily can be converted to another living area/bath. Upstairs area already has ac vents installed, along with plumbing. Gorgeous cypress staircase leading to the upper area. A really easy conversion should you need the extra space. Home is a little dated on the inside and will need some additional cosmetic changes to make it your perfect dream home. It can be an absolute showplace!!!!!
