This beautiful, 4 bedroom/2 1/2 bath home in prestigious, tree shaded, University Acres was built by two college professors and has been impeccably cared for ever since. Although the house qualifies as a 4-bedroom house, the very large 4th bedroom -- or upstairs bonus room -- was used by owners as an upstairs den. Additional, unique features of the home include: large primary bathroom with dual vanities, separate shower, garden soaking tub and private water closet; a small vestibule/library at the entrance of the primary bedroom; a handsome, antique cabinet holding the sink in the half bath downstairs; a wood burning fireplace; a large study off the carport with built in bookshelves (formerly used by college professor as his office); and a separate, large workshop/storage building in the back yard. Home has been renovated twice, most recently 15 years ago. Recently painted throughout interior and all new carpet upstairs.
This beautiful home in prestigious University Acres was built by two college professors. It has been renovated twice, most recently 15 years ago and has been impeccably cared for throughout. Downstairs are the kitchen, breakfast room, formal dining & living rooms, great/family room, library and luxurious master bedroom with ensuite bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a full bath and a 2nd great room that can double as a 4th bedroom, game room, playroom or upstairs den. Outside are two additional buildings -- an office or study, and a workshop, which the owners will keep for their own storage use. A unique feature of the outdoor landscape is the beautiful fountain and pond in the back yard. This beautiful home is a must see! Its proximity to LSU makes it a perfect home for college professors, LSU coaches or administrative staff. The house is advertised at $2,600 per month, but at the increased amount of $2,800 per month, the owners are happy to continue their upkeep of the yard and fountain if the tenant so desires. The baby grand piano and the dresser upstairs will remain in the house. The keyboard cover can be anchored if desired.
