Built in 1935 and offered for public sale for the very first time, this is a rare and desirable opportunity not to be missed. This charming cottage expertly combines Spanish and craftsman styles to create a character-filled abode anyone would be proud to call their own. Before you even step inside, you will fall head over heels for the sought-after University Gardens location along with the gorgeous curb appeal of this prized corner lot. A quaint covered front porch welcomes you to explore the light-filled 1,619 sqft layout with two bedrooms, one bathroom and generous living areas. Bespoke finishes are on show throughout and were completed by the renowned craftsman Jon McArthur who was known as the 'master of plaster'. These classic original touches are complemented by a host of contemporary updates ensuring a move-in-ready abode that's as comfortable as it is beautiful. Updated Acacia wood flooring flows underfoot in the living and dining room while the kitchen is tiled and ready for the eager cook. Additional improvements include a replaced thermostat, ductwork and A/C intake, several large windows replaced, the terracotta sewer line was updated in 2017 and the laundry room was fully renovated in 2021. Even the exterior deck was redone providing an idyllic place to host guests and admire the good-size yard. Conveniently located close to great restaurants, downtown Baton Rouge, Perkins road cafes and shopping. LSU campus, picturesque lakes and the City Park golf course are nearby as is the Knock Knock Children's Museum and the Southdowns Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day parade routes. Due to relocation, owner was unable to complete some of planned painting and flooring updates so this sale includes 21 boxes of Acacia wood flooring for refinishing of the two bedrooms.
