    What's special

    Charming South Downs Traditional — Fully Renovated & Move-In Ready 4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | Carport Welcome to this beautifully renovated traditional home nestled in the highly sought-after South Downs neighborhood — one of Baton Rouge's most beloved and walkable communities. Situated just one block from Acadian Thruway, this property offers unbeatable convenience with Trader Joe's, popular bars, and local restaurants all within walking distance. Families will love the proximity to multiple elementary and middle schools, along with easy access to Catholic High, St. Joseph's Academy, and LSU — all less than 2 miles away. This home was completely renovated in 2013, featuring all-new electrical, new plumbing, HVAC, refinished oak hardwood floors, and new HardiPlank exterior siding — built to last and virtually maintenance-free. A thoughtfully designed addition expanded the footprint to include a spacious master suite, dedicated laundry room with sink and second refrigerator, mud room, dedicated water heater and HVAC, and covered carport. A brand new roof, blown in insulation, and water heater were installed in May 2026, giving buyers true peace of mind from day one. Inside, the open floor plan flows effortlessly and is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining with a large dining living area with a gas fireplace installed as part of the renovations. The kitchen, featuring custom cabinetry, a large center island, and granite countertops, all open to a comfortable sitting room — perfect for casual mornings or evening gatherings. Step outside to your own private retreat: a large screened back porch, open patio, and a sprawling backyard complete with a half basketball court — a rare find and a dream for active families. Out front, a concrete circular driveway adds curb appeal and convenience. ***See documents for list of updates***
