937 N 7th St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802

Brand New Roof + Other Updates. Fabulous and Rare find in Spanish Town! Known as one of the Brousseau cottages, the owners meticulously and lovingly restored this house to its original character of 1918 while preserving its unique history. The interior design makes you feel like you have stepped back in time! From the foundation up, the original “real” wood floors, authentic textured plaster walls, original cypress wainscoting and mill work, to the new natural black honed granite counter tops, Italian Carrara marble floors and Robert Abbey Lighting. This beautiful new kitchen with lots of cabinetry, top of the line stainless steel appliances and the mud room has a full-size stackable washer and dryer. The original bathtub was also restored! With old pictures and assistance from the local Historic Preservation Commission, we found that many of the original characteristics had either been removed or changed. The guidelines set forth by the Louisiana Division of Historic Preservation and the United States Department of Interior were meticulously followed forming a wonderful creation of the past with the present. In 2013, the Foundation for Historical Louisiana bestowed the Phoenix Preservation Award for the “rescue and adaptive restoration” of 937 N 7th St. along with 4 other adjacent homes, “in making the past known and useful to the present”. Keep in mind, when you look at 937 N 7th St. , she is 100 years old and has one of the larger backyards in Spanish Town. The bonus area is an office now and could be a nursery or master closet. There is a driveway with a garage! All of this, just steps away from the State Capitol, Capitol lakes, Governor’s Mansion and Arsenal Park! The electrical, plumbing and mechanical were all replaced when seller purchased the home several years ago. The seller has permits and inspection reports.
