LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! In the heart of Baton Rouge, this charming 2 BR, 1.5 BA condo blends vintage character with extensive updates—and comes partially furnished! Seller is paying $5000 towards buyer's closing costs. Ask about financing options with as little as 10% down. Set beneath mature oaks, this updated home offers a dedicated covered parking space, restaurants within walking distance, and convenient access to LSU and shopping. Inside, plantation shutters and refinished wood floors bring warmth to the living and dining areas. The kitchen features white cabinetry, updated appliances, tile flooring, and a stacked washer and dryer. A convenient half bath is downstairs, while both bedrooms and the refreshed full bath are upstairs. More than $40,000 in improvements completed in 2022–2023 included the addition of the downstairs half bath, Low-E argon-filled windows throughout, interior paint, updated lighting and ceiling fans, a new electric water heater, and substantial electrical, plumbing, and flooring work. Additional work includes replacement of the sewer line from this unit to the community line, replacement of floor joists with treated joists in most of the home, and repairs to damaged floorboards. The roof was replaced in 2019, and the property has never flooded. Enjoy the rear deck and move-in-ready convenience! Included furnishings: king bed, queen mattresses, couch, end table, round gold-and-glass coffee table, dining table, china cabinet, dining room side table, living room lamp, closet lamps, and bedroom lamps.
