RARE FIND IN THE WHITE OAK AREA! This beautifully updated cottage-style home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths PLUS an oversized 14.2 x 11 utility/flex space on approximately 1.60 ACRES comprised of THREE LOTS! The home sits back from the road, creating a peaceful, private setting with a rural feel while still enjoying a convenient location. Completely updated in 2019, the home blends original character with modern finishes. Real wood floors were beautifully refinished, along with new tile flooring, new energy efficient windows, fresh paint, updated lighting, recessed lighting, hardware and fixtures throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms received all-new cabinetry, & feature slab quartz counters. This Kitchen has stainless appliances, gas range, ceramic apron-front sink & tile backsplash. The open, flowing floor plan is filled with natural light and offers two separate dining spaces. The breakfast area includes a butler's pantry/coffee bar providing additional cabinetry, counter space and storage. All three bedrooms feature refinished wood floors, while the spacious utility/flex room provides tremendous versatility for laundry, an office, additional closet/storage space, hobby room or whatever fits your needs. One of the home's most special features is the 29.3 x 11.8 mostly enclosed back porch with refinished wood flooring—an incredible extension of the living space with room for both an outdoor living area and a bed swing. Current bed swing does not remain. A cozy front porch, double carport and approximately 11 x 15 storage building complete the property. The approximately 1.60 acres consist of three lots being sold together, with the home situated on two lots and the third lot currently vacant and separately established through the permitting office, offering a unique opportunity for a buyer who may want to explore future building possibilities. The pier-and-beam construction may also offer additional flexibility for future plans.
Southeast Baton Rouge, located between Highland Road and Airline Highway, is a suburban and commercial Shenandoah neighborhood with a bayou-laced landscape and a retail corridor feel. The character concentrates around the Jones Creek Road and Coursey Boulevard intersection, where grocery plazas, taquerias, boba counters, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks in motion. Housing trends toward brick ranches and newer subdivisions set behind live oaks and drainage canals. The daily rhythm follows the shopping strips along Coursey and the quieter loops of neighborhood streets. Community pillars include Red Stick Farmers Market, Mansurs on the Boulevard, and Baton Rouge Gallery.
