Truly one of a kind in Baton Rouge’s sought-after University Acres, this remarkable 4-bedroom, 4-bath home with two private offices was designed for grand-scale living and unforgettable entertaining. Exceptionally spacious rooms have comfortably accommodated gatherings of up to 125 guests, while abundant built-in storage and bookshelves add function and character throughout. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with a Wolf natural-gas range, Miele dishwasher, double ovens, microwave, two pantries, an appliance garage and an extraordinary amount of storage. A locally crafted wood-and-metal staircase serves as a stunning architectural centerpiece, while built-in stereo speakers with individual room controls and a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system provide modern convenience. The dramatic pool room features 20-foot ceilings, a wet bar, ice maker, extensive wine storage and a wall of 8-foot windows overlooking the private pool. Fireplaces anchor both the interior living room and the screened outdoor living room, creating inviting spaces for year-round enjoyment. Outside, towering bamboo, a seven-foot privacy fence, handcrafted stone table and oversized planters with 18-foot crape myrtles create a resort-like setting. A beautifully planted French garden with an iron fence, professional landscaping, underground irrigation and a French drain system complete the grounds. Additional highlights include a separate library with a hidden closet that leads directly to an upstairs bedroom, a whole-house natural-gas generator and five separately controlled HVAC zones. The oversized garage accommodates two vehicles through an extra-wide door, plus a separate climate-controlled boat bay that could also serve as a gym or flex space. This extraordinary University Acres residence offers exceptional space, privacy, craftsmanship and amenities rarely found in one home.
