Tucked beneath a canopy of century-old oaks just steps from LSU, this stunning brick residence blends timeless Louisiana architecture with thoughtfully updated interiors. A wraparound double gallery — framed in classic white columns and dripping with mature wisteria — wraps the home's exterior, offering multiple outdoor living spaces for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The private, professionally landscaped courtyard is a true showstopper, anchored by graceful crepe myrtles, manicured hedges, and a brick privacy wall that creates a serene, secluded retreat in the heart of the city. French doors and oversized windows throughout invite natural light and garden views into nearly every room. Inside, the home strikes a warm, curated balance between historic character and modern comfort. E xposed brick accent walls anchor the open-concept living and dining areas. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a cooktop, and a charming breakfast nook framed by original brick columns and garden views. A spacious primary suite offers a private balcony overlook, a large walk-in-friendly layout, and serene, neutral finishes. After bicycle riding around the LSU Lakes, enjoy outdoor living with a screened dining porch that sits just off the kitchen, while an upper-level gallery porch — complete with a swing! — overlooks the lush backyard, perfect for enjoying Baton Rouge evenings. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic Louisiana charm just minutes from LSU, one block to St Aloysius Church and School, restaurants, and everything downtown Baton Rouge has to offer.
