1.3 Acres in desirable Old Goodwood! The owners chose the Old Goodwood neighborhood for its perfect geographic location in Baton Rouge and its natural beauty, quiet surroundings and privacy. But equally important to the owners was the reputation of Old Goodwood being a place for generations of families to raise their children as well as welcoming many new residents and their families. The owners designed and appointed their home for entertaining and to reflect Old World hand craftsmanship and enhance their antique collection of many years, spending many years in France and Belgium locating the “perfect” antiques for their home. One of the favorite features is seen from the family room….. from 1840's southern France is an 11 ft. tall, 18 ft. long wall of six (6) solid black walnut doors with 6 ft. hand etched glass urn & flower basket windows in the center of the raised panel doors with etched transoms. The view is breath-taking when looking through the door windows to the pool and backyard. Other interior antiques include a 5 ft x 2 ft art deco stained glass window depicting a full fruit basket and urn in tasteful shades of gold and red. A heavily carved double-door entryway with beveled glass accents the billiards room. The 1.3 Acre wooded and landscaped lot offers over a hundred types of plants and trees with the cleared backyard big enough for a tennis court or enough room for childrens' sports activities. The pool area was refurbished and updated to include an addition of a moon-shaped fountain, lighting, a shallow tanning ledge as well as 3 cocktail ledges for entertaining the adults! A 19th century solid copper 5' diameter candy pot from southern France is an unusual and eye-catching fountain next to the pool.
