About this home

Step into Southern grandeur with this one-of-a-kind, three-story Classic Colonial—an architectural masterpiece originally built in the early 1940s for the President of Standard Oil. Lovingly reimagined for modern living, this historic estate is nestled behind wrought iron gates on an expansive, manicured lot shaded by majestic Live Oaks and framed by an inviting front porch. Inside, every detail tells a story. The grand foyer welcomes you with an original crystal chandelier and sweeping views of elegant living spaces adorned with rare antique finishes, including an Italian marble fireplace surround, German crystal pendant lighting, antique chandelier sconces, and fixtures salvaged from an East Coast theater. Designed for both extravagant entertaining and intimate moments, the layout flows effortlessly through formal and casual spaces alike. Appreciate the recent full renovation of the kitchen including all new appliances. Fresh interior paint throughout and new exterior columns on the front porch. The second floor is home to a romantic master suite with soaring cathedral ceilings and a private balcony overlooking the tranquil grounds. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully appointed. The third floor offers a spacious bonus/game room and a fifth bedroom—ideal for guests, a home office, or a private retreat. Step outside to your own private oasis: a fully fenced backyard sanctuary featuring a custom gunite pool, a new pergola for shaded lounging, and a stunning 300+ square foot gazebo perfect for outdoor dining or events. Located just blocks from Our Lady of Mercy in the coveted heart of Old Goodwood, this stately home offers rare character, modern updates, and a lifestyle of unmatched charm and elegance. Don’t miss the chance to own this true Baton Rouge landmark.
