About This Home
"Excellent turnkey investment opportunity! This property is tenant-occupied and leased through July 15, 2026, with monthly rent of $3,250.00 and a $1,000.00 security deposit. The lease will transfer to the new owner at closing and will remain in effect under its current terms until its expiration date. The buyer will assume all landlord responsibilities and cannot modify the lease or remove the tenants before July 15, 2026, unless mutually agreed upon. Purchasing this property means inheriting the existing tenants, rental income, and lease terms through July 2026." This exceptional custom-built home in the heart of historic downtown Baton Rouge offers luxury living with a prime location just minutes from LSU and downtown attractions. Recently expanded and renovated, it features high-end finishes throughout, including granite countertops, a spacious eat-in island, and premium stainless steel appliances. Solid wood flooring, elegant crown molding, and upscale details complement the open living spaces. The oversized primary suite includes wood floors, crown molding, and a large walk-in closet. The spa-inspired primary bath offers dual vanities, a custom shower with seating, and an additional walk-in closet. Two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath with ample closet space and natural light. Curb appeal is enhanced by wrought iron and brick fencing, along with a spacious front porch. The expansive backyard is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a large open patio, outdoor kitchen, and mature trees for shade.
