This two bedroom, 2 1/2 bath Townhome is a "New Orleans warehouse district" blend of contemporary and classic styles. This home is a must see - stunning from top to bottom! It just had a full renovation, including: all walls and ceilings refinished to "level 5" finishes, new crown molding, gorgeous downstairs brick floors refinished, beautiful old cypress counters, banisters and mantle were added, every light fixture is new, all door hinges, doorknobs, and cabinet hardware are new (invisible hinges in cabinets), every sink is new, every sink faucet is new, every toilet is a brand-new Kohler, all carpeting is new, the bathroom floors are new, interior is freshly painted in soft neutral tones with premium Benjamin Moore paint, the bathtubs are spotless, all electrical outlets and switches are new with screwless designer plates, all shelving is new. The home includes a nearly-new stainless Samsung stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, Kenmore Elite HE washer and dryer, Custom Security Systems alarm, central air unit that will freeze you out (Freon coil replaced in 2011-12?). In the private courtyard, a canopy shades a spacious wooden deck (just re-sealed). Home includes a carport for two cars with additional guest parking nearby. There is a nice outside storage shed/closet. The layout is efficient and beautiful – downstairs is a semi-open floor plan with a bartop cut-through from the kitchen into the integrated dining/living area, with a comfortable half-bath for downstairs use. The laundry closet is offset from the kitchen, which has plenty of cabinet space and a full pantry. A convenient coat closet offers extra storage. Upstairs features two bedrooms, each with its own FULL bath and each with a sizable shelved closet. The attic is largely floored to accommodate plenty of extra storage. The location is tough to beat – on Perkins between College and Essen – you won't find a home like this in Southdowns/Pollard/etc. for under $250k. Groceries, excellent restaurants, BREC's newest park (which includes trails, tennis courts, skateboard park, rock climbing wall, etc.), access to I-10 or I-12, Starbucks and other coffee shops, hospitals, etc. are all within minutes. The Pennington research center is a three minute walk and offers a beautiful lakeside walking trail and tennis courts open to residents. At least four different banks are within walking distance or a three minute drive. LSU is 10 minutes away (4.2 miles). HOA dues are reasonable and include groundskeeping, water, sewer, trash, exterior building and roof maintenance. We will pay $2000 closing costs for you to apply the cash savings to anything else you want done (countertops? Stainless dishwasher?). Come see this special home in person, either by private appointment or at one of our open houses, which we will hold most Sundays until it sells (call us to confirm the open houses or check Sunday's paper). We hope we will see you there! Questions? Call Nathan at 225-288-8379. Fax offers to 225-819-1510
