Property Description
Picture-Perfect Cottage in the Heart of Capital Heights ADORABLE doesn’t even begin to cover it. This charming home puts you right in the middle of one of Baton Rouge’s most loved, hip, charming and eclectic neighborhoods—where some of the city’s best restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, live music and even a speakeasy are just steps from your front door. Inside, this home has all the character you hope to find in a Capital Heights cottage but with major upgrades: original wood floors, crown molding, tons of windows and natural light, a farmhouse sink, fresh paint and a NEW ROOF. With 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a detached bonus space perfect for a home office, studio, gym or hobby room, there’s more versatility here than you’d expect. And the backyard? Made for entertaining. The large yard offers plenty of room for outdoor dinners, a fire pit, crawfish boils, game-day parties or simply relaxing under the trees. Add in off-street parking, and this cottage checks some very important boxes. But this home is as much about the lifestyle as it is the house. Walk or bike to neighborhood favorites, hit the nearby public golf course, grab coffee in the morning, dinner and cocktails at night, or stroll over to community events like White Light Night. Charming. Walkable. Eclectic. Completely Capital Heights. This isn’t a cookie-cutter house in a cookie-cutter neighborhood—and that’s exactly why you’re going to love it. Furniture is AI generated.
