Fall in love with this Old Goodwood gem. Nestled in a quiet, established neighborhood, this thoughtfully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home perfectly blends classic character with modern, designer finishes, all done with quality craftsmanship. Wide plank hardwood flooring invite you into the foyer and lead into a spacious formal dining area and separate office. The heart of the home is the massive den separated from the dining area by a solid cypress beam and anchored by a cozy brick, wood-burning fireplace, with a view of the rear yard. It opens to a renovated kitchen boasting rich butcher block countertops, custom open shelving, a timeless beadboard backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen, butler pantry/laundry room and bathrooms look straight out of a magazine ad! The interior flow is exceptional, but the outdoor living spaces are what truly set this home apart. The massive rear carport pulls double duty as the ultimate open-air entertainment pavilion, featuring Coolcrete coating below and a stunning cathedral ceiling above, crafted from the stage flooring in the historic 1932 LSU Theatre and reclaimed during a 2009 renovation. Beyond the back porch and patio lies a large, fully fenced backyard with prize winning camellias and green space. Storage is never an issue thanks to an air conditioned workshop and adjacent 12x12 storage room as well as a fully decked attic. Parking is plentiful with a wide, gated driveway and additional parking pads in the front and rear of the home. Enjoy the absolute best of Baton Rouge living with a walkable location just minutes from popular Mid-City shops, local dining, Government Street events, Towne Center and easy interstate access. Refrigerator, washer, and dryer all remain for the buyer. New roof, new hot water heater and 4 year old HVAC.

Old Goodwood, located between Airline Highway and Jefferson Highway, is a historic and residential Baton Rouge neighborhood with a canopy of live oaks and mid-century ranch streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Goodwood Boulevard and Jefferson Highway corridor, where local eateries, small studios, and everyday services keep the pace steady. The Goodwood Library anchors the area with a civic, bookish calm. The Goodwood Grill and the Baton Rouge Gallery add familiar, local touchstones for dining and art. Brick homes, deep setbacks, and shaded sidewalks shape a quiet, walkable feel. Nearby parks and the Goodwood Boulevard greenway lend room for a morning loop or an after-work reset.
