Charming, renovated cottage with central AC is now available! This precious home welcomes you with a spacious living room featuring three oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. A large cased opening connects the living room to the dining room, creating an inviting flow for everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen offers a breakfast area, farmhouse sink, updated countertops, backsplash, and cabinet pulls, along with a pantry. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with a modern vanity, tiled accent wall, tiled tub surround, and linen closet. Built for durability, the home features solid construction with walls and a foundation incorporating a combination of cinder block, brick, and concrete. The architectural shingle roof and water heater are both only two years old. The washing machine, dryer, and detached storage shed can remain with the home, making this an easy place to call home. Location is hard to beat, with restaurants, parks, schools, and shops nearby. City Park, LSU, Downtown, and Government Street are all within walking or biking distance, putting some of Baton Rouge's best amenities right at your fingertips.
