Picture yourself stepping into a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home where the layout feels open, comfortable, and ready for everyday living or entertaining. The kitchen brings the space together with quartz countertops, a waterfall-edge detail, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and an oversized sink, while the open-concept design keeps the main living areas connected and inviting. Updated finishes, a whole-home GENERAC generator, smart-home features, and thoughtful improvements throughout add comfort where it matters. Outside, the home continues to impress with a 0.55-acre lot, mature landscaping, spacious backyard, and rear carport, giving you room to enjoy the property just as much as the home itself. With approximately 2,001 sq. ft. of living area and a central Baton Rouge location, 856 Rodney Drive is the kind of home you’ll want to experience in person. Tour opportunities are coming soon; this is one to keep on your radar.
Kenliworth, located between Perkins Road and Highland Road, is a residential and leafy Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and winding, oak-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Perkins Road Overpass corridor near Perkins Rd and Acadian Thruway, where patios, small dining rooms, and local storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Architectural lines lean low and horizontal, with deep setbacks and mature landscaping that softens the streetscape. Nearby green space and the lakes at City Park create a calm, outdoors-forward rhythm. Community pillars include The Chimes, The Bulldog, and Baton Rouge Gallery, each adding a distinct local pulse.
