Property Description

Welcome to a meticulously cared-for custom home steeped in character and history, nestled beneath the sprawling limbs of a registered 300+ year-old live oak on iconic Highland Road. Blending Italianate design with Southern charm, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Baton Rouge heritage. The first level features two bedrooms, including the original primary suite—generously sized with a fireplace, walk-in closet, and French doors that frame the lush courtyard gardens. Antique pine floors sourced from historic properties in Plaquemine and NYC add warmth and authenticity throughout. At the heart of the home is an inviting family room and kitchen filled with natural light from salvaged Opelousas windows. The kitchen offers granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, a gas cooktop, and a brand-new refrigerator—stylish, functional, and ready for everyday living. The family room and adjacent screened-in back porch are wired for surround sound, with additional wiring in the upstairs primary suite and bath. Step outside to enjoy breezy afternoons on the rear screened porch, where views of the majestic oak tree provide a stunning natural backdrop. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat with antique French doors, two private balconies—one overlooking the oak-shaded backyard and the other the New Orleans-style courtyard and historic cypress barn. The en suite bath features travertine double vanities, a soaking tub, and a spa-like shower, along with multiple walk-in closets and a laundry room with new, custom cabinetry. The beautifully landscaped backyard slopes gently to Bayou Fountain, while antique cast iron, copper gutters, and hand-built architectural details speak to decades of intentional design and preservation. Timeless, rooted in history, and full of soul—this home offers both beauty and substance in one of Baton Rouge's most storied locations.
