Welcome home to this completely remodeled 1440 sq. ft. Mid City gem. Renovated from head to toe in 2022, this home is truly move-in ready. A fully fenced in yard with large metal entry gate, covered parking, an office and massive parking space are just a few of the features that make this home special. The roof, water heater, plumbing lines, and most of the windows were replaced in 2019. The air conditioning system is newer as well. On top of that, the home has been completely rewired. There is an additional approximately 500 sq. ft. detached air conditioned building in the back, with a bathroom and an additional laundry room, that makes for great storage space, or it could be converted to a guest house, workshop or short term rental. Home is currently ran as a successful short term rental and is available as a fully furnished turnkey property, but it would also make a perfect home for a family. The home has a dedicated office, mud room, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a beautiful kitchen, open dining room and den, and laundry room. Rental income available upon request.

About Old
Goodwood
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.
