This beautiful, Historic charmer, called The Powell home, is on the National Historic Register. Stunning high ceilings, beautiful antique heart pine wood floors, high windows cascading light, baths with claw foot tubs and pedestal sink, and a private balcony and courtyard are just a few features. And there is private paved side driveway for 6-8 cars for you and your guests and additional curb parking in the front. The mantles on the 8 fireplaces have original wood. Central HVAC installed for both units and much renovation has been done to plumbing and electric, yet all original beauty has been preserved. There is so much flexibility to use this home different ways. As a single family it could have primary living quarters either up or down with the formal entertainment area separate; this would be ideal for parties where the caterer or chef would have their own separate kitchen! A private outdoor courtyard adds additional charm. This is currently rented out downstairs, but could be converted to a single family residence if desired. This home is on the Mardi Gras parade route for Spanish town. Don't miss this rare chance to own a part of Baton Rouge history. As Is at time of sale. All measurements are approximate and not warranted.
