If you've seen it, you know it. This beautiful mid-century modern home sits on a .63 acre lot in the heart of Baton Rouge, with a separate 625 square foot guest house in the back yard. Clad with cedar shake siding, the exterior requires no maintenance. Tons of natural light floods the large living room with a huge wood burning fireplace. The large kitchen, with its 36" range and ample counter space, also features a bar to belly up to for breakfast or homework. Every part of the home is connected to the green exterior by large windows, providing a sense of comfort and calm in every room. With closets in the rooms, in the hallway, and in the laundry room, the home has plenty of storage. A large room on the front of the home, with a separate front door, makes for an ideal office or additional bedroom. Another closet could be added to make it a true bedroom. Well insulated and roofed with a commercial grade, 30 year Duro-Last® membrane and trimmed in copper, the home is built to last. The silver-level Louisiana Certified Habitat yard is a retreat in the city, and provides for pollinators with more than 50 native plant species, including blueberries and citrus trees. Also, the back yard drainage ties directly into the city stormwater drains. Guest house and included laundry room is separately metered and has its own driveway on Longwood, perfect for guests or renting out for additional income. Come and experience this home for yourself.
