What a special little" keeper" in the wonderful Capital Heights Subdivision. It is in a super convenient part of South Baton Rouge being so close to all area restaurants, parks, and area grocery stores. Cottage has been well maintained and loved. Three nice size bedrooms, one renovated bath, and separate living and dining areas. Super curb appeal, typical style that all the old house lovers like. They currently use their carport as a great outside space to entertain and enjoy. The added bonus is a MAN'S CAVE or office space that is cooled and finished out adjacent to the house. This bonus area is not figured into living area, but is included in total area. Lots of natural light in the main house, wood floors, and the original wood windows. Bathroom has been updated with concrete slab counter top, subway tile, new fixtures, and custom cabinets. You will not be disappointed in this jewel and Mid City area.
