About This Home
Designed by renowned architect A. Hays Town in 1963 and thoughtfully expanded in 2006, this extraordinary residence captures the essence of classic Louisiana architecture, where craftsmanship, warmth, and setting come together in perfect harmony. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature live oaks on a picturesque 27,500 sq. ft. lot with a private pond, the home seamlessly blends timeless design with modern luxury. Rich in character, it showcases reclaimed materials, antique brick, and old-growth wood, with every space telling a story, from inviting living areas with exposed beams, masonry fireplaces, and French doors opening to sweeping grounds, to expansive porches with antique beams and pine ceilings designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Spanning 6,303 sq. ft. under roof, including 4,623 sq. ft. of living space, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four bedrooms and five full bathrooms, multiple living areas, and seamless flow ideal for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features a 48" Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 60" Kohler sink, original cypress cabinetry, and brick floors, while the primary suite offers vaulted antique pine ceilings, a plaster fireplace, spa-like finishes, and a custom closet. Modern amenities, including a full-home generator, Sonos system, mosquito repellent system, irrigation, security, Bevelo gas lanterns, and rear-loading parking via a landscaped alley, enhance everyday living. This is more than a home; it is a legacy property and a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of Baton Rouge’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
