About this home
Transferrable VA low-interest mortgage. Lovingly Restored Historic Home in the Garden District Built in 1921, this beautifully restored home sits on a hill with a fully fenced double lot, blending historic charm with modern convenience. Original details—including ceilings, windows, doors, doorknobs, moldings, and hardwood floors—have been carefully preserved. The expansive front porch, spanning the length of the house, boasts a stunning arched ceiling and a gracious entryway with a historical marker. As one of the most notable homes in the Dehr Place Historic District, it offers a professionally landscaped front yard framed by towering pine trees. Enjoy the cool shade or take a short stroll to Government Street’s shops and restaurants—Barracuda Taco is just steps away! The private backyard is a serene retreat, featuring a pergola covered in old-growth wild roses, perfect for outdoor dining. A Wi-Fi-compatible, multi-zone sprinkler system makes yard maintenance effortless. Inside, the open kitchen—fully renovated in 2023—features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and new LG and GE Profile appliances. The island offers seating, and the space includes a gas range and ample storage. The formal living room centers around its original wood-burning fireplace, rebuilt in 2019. The adjacent sunroom, lined with windows and custom blinds, provides a bright and inviting space. Two of the four bedrooms are on the first floor. The upstairs primary suite is surrounded by windows with views of live oaks. Custom blackout draperies ensure restful sleep. The fully remodeled primary bathroom features designer finishes, and a second upstairs closet has laundry hookups for a stackable washer and dryer. A rare feature: the fully acclimatized basement spans the home’s length—one of the few in Baton Rouge—with two rooms, including a laundry space. This move-in-ready historic gem offers character, convenience, and an unbeatable location. Don’t miss it!...
