A true waterfront retreat in the heart of Baton Rouge! Only a very few homes actually have one of the LSU lakes in their own backyard and this home is one of them! Lush, private gardens not only frame views of Lake Crest in the backyard but also a clear view across University Lake. This brick and stucco traditional house, with original mid-century modern details, is located at the northern gates of LSU off Darlymple Drive within walking distance to the university. It also provides easy access into downtown. See the lights of Tiger Stadium and hear the chimes of Memorial Tower from your patio! Paddle board, canoe and fish from the banks of your yard! Enjoy the quiet neighborhood of Lake Crest with direct access to parks, bike paths, jogging trails and spectacular sunrise and sunset lake views. The home features cypress millwork and mid-century mantel with exposed brick in both the living room and office/study. All living spaces in this two-story home have solid wood flooring. The modern kitchen, with exposed wood beam opening onto the large den, has solid hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel JennAir gas range and Bosch appliances. The dining room bay window is situated to give broad lake views. The oversized master bedroom has an adjacent sitting room with exposed beams and vaulted ceiling with direct lake views. Bathrooms have marble flooring with marble bath and shower surrounds. The owner/architect has preserved the original character of the home while adding modern updates. Having been owned by generations of one family for over 70 years, this is a rare opportunity to own this home with direct backyard access to the University Lakes.
