This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home is nestled on a quiet, dead-end street in “Old Goodwood” within walking distance to Goodwood Park and features a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom detached, guest house complete with screened porch, living room, kitchen, and laundry room. This home has so much history! It was moved from Downtown Baton Rouge in the early 70’s and many of the integrity of many of the original architectural details were maintained, including the beautiful wood flooring, crown molding, wood windows and interior doors. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a large family room, with wood burning fireplace, that opens onto a sunroom and formal dining room, all with beautiful natural lighting. Off of the kitchen, you will find a fabulous 16’ by 32’ screen porch that serves as the perfect extension of living and entertaining space. Both the primary and additional bedroom downstairs are spacious and feature en suite bathrooms. Upstairs you will find 2 additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom and a 9’ by 25’ finished bonus room. Between 2019-2020, the upstairs HVAC was updated, the front door and windows in the sunroom, breakfast room, and half bathroom were replaced, and the exterior of the home was painted. The detached guest house has a history of its own as it was moved from Spanish Town in the late 90’s and offers another 621 square feet (not included in living square footage) with its own screen porch. Improvements that were made to the guest house between 2019-2020 include the addition of a 10’ by 5’ utility room, new windows throughout, and new/raised HVAC ductwork. This charming home has so much to offer! Schedule your private showing today!
