About This Home

Located in the heart of Bocage, this beautifully updated home blends timeless Southern architecture with refined finishes. The home offers 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, with travertine and heart of pine floors throughout the main living areas. The inviting living room features soaring tray-vaulted ceilings with reclaimed wood beams, a fireplace, and a wet bar with a leathered quartzite counter, along with three sets of French doors that fill the space with natural light and open to the patio and backyard. A large formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring granite countertops, a stone backsplash, and an oversized island with seating, flowing seamlessly into the keeping and dining areas. The primary suite offers a spacious retreat, while the primary bath features dual vanities on opposite sides, a large walk-in shower, abundant storage, and a dedicated dressing area. Three additional bedrooms and two baths are located down a separate hallway on the first floor, thoughtfully split from the primary suite for added privacy. A suite above the garage is connected to the home’s interior and provides exceptional flexibility with its own living area and full bath, making it ideal as a guest suite, second primary suite, or private living space. Additional features include a whole-house generator and a charming patio perfect for outdoor entertaining. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in one of Baton Rouge’s most desirable neighborhoods.
