It's the Southdowns cottage you've been looking for, located on the corner of Ross and Whitehaven within walking distance to the LSU lakes. It's the ideal spot, away from heavy traffic but in the heart of one of the most popular places to live in Baton Rouge. The home has retained much of its charm including its beautiful hardwood floors and mature landscape. It's also seen some great updates: newer kitchen cabinets, farmhouse sink, granite counter tops, tumbled marble backsplash, stainless steel appliances, tankless water heater, new roof (2018), renovated bathrooms, and new fencing (2023). The home features 3 bedroom, 2 full baths, indoor laundry, and a spacious rear sunroom. An added bonus is the 233 sq. ft. studio behind the house (not included in living square footage). This is a separate structure with its own AC, covered porch, deck, and 1-car covered parking place. What a great studio space or home office. There is additional off-street parking in the driveway and behind the gated entry to the back yard. The refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer are included in the sale.
