Historic 200-Year-Old Gem in Downtown Baton Rouge! Why You’ll Love It:
Historic Prestige: Own a piece of Louisiana history! This rare home is on the National Register of Historic Places, complete with an official commemorative plaque.
Preserved Character: Previously operated as a charming Bed & Breakfast; features timeless architectural details that simply cannot be replicated today.
Modern Reliability: Move in with peace of mind—the roof is less than 10 years old and the home features a high-efficiency split HVAC system (dedicated units for upstairs and downstairs).
Investor Gold: A unique "fixer-to-fabulous" opportunity. Minor cosmetic updates like interior paint will instantly unlock significant equity in this high-demand historic district.
The Location: Located at the heart of the Spanish Town/Downtown area, you are steps away from the State Capitol and local parks. This vibrant, high-appreciation neighborhood is perfect for historic enthusiasts or those looking for a high-profile short-term rental/Airbnb destination.
