Lovely Goodwood home right next to Towne Center with many improvements! New roof installed March 2026! The kitchen was renovated to include quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, open wood shelving, stainless appliances including a Bosch dishwasher & gas range, and abundant storage including two pantries. The movable butcher block counter remains. The carport is tucked away behind the house for privacy, and the courtyard has a new security fence. The home also features 4 spacious bedrooms, a bonus front room (currently used as an office/gym), & a bright sunroom! Enjoy both a breakfast area in the kitchen and a formal dining room. The living room is spacious with vaulted ceilings and stately beams, opening into the sunroom for great natural light.

The primary suite features a large bedroom, walk-in closet, and a vanity area. Outside, you'll find a fenced backyard, a beautiful front yard with mature landscaping, and a courtyard off the sunroom, perfect for morning coffee. Two large storage closets are located off the courtyard. As you arrive, you'll love being greeted by the gorgeous live oak in the front yard, with a matching tree in the backyard. Enjoy living in Old Goodwood with close proximity to shopping, dining, Whole Foods and everyday amenities!
Tara, located between Jefferson Highway and Essen Lane, is a residential and commercial Baton Rouge neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a leafy, established feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jefferson Highway corridor near Drusilla Lane, where low-slung storefronts, local eateries, and service shops set a steady, everyday rhythm. Brick homes, mature oaks, and curving blocks define the interior, while busier edges carry most of the retail. Tara’s layout favors short drives to dining and errands, with quieter pockets set back from traffic. Nearby cultural staples such as Manship Theatre and Baton Rouge Gallery add an arts-minded counterpoint to the area’s practical, lived-in tone.
