Property Description

Classic meets modern in this exceptional residence overlooking the LSU lakes. Featured in Architectural Digest, this 1955 home has been thoughtfully renovated to blend timeless architectural details with livable elegance. A major highlight is the detached guest house/studio—a bright, open space with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and large closets and storage. Featuring cypress-paneled walls, a Japanese soaking tub, and custom stainless sinks, it offers unmatched versatility for a home office, creative studio, guest quarters, or independent living space. The main home is anchored by a French Quarter-style courtyard framed by lush custom gardens and a private pool. Designed to honor its traditional neighborhood while embracing modern flair, the home's front elevation features paned windows, a dramatic slate roof, raised panels under double-hung windows, and a welcoming porch with wide columns. In the back, aluminum casement windows bring in abundant natural light for a more contemporary expression. A central fireplace separates public and private spaces, while a defined hallway marks a clear transition. Louvered panels and doors, used inside and out, enhance airflow and connect interiors to the outdoors. Classic materials like St. Joe brick, Pennsylvania slate, and copper gutters are paired with clean, modern lines. The interiors—by Thad Hayes, Inc. (NYC) and JPS Builders—include cork floors, cypress paneling, and a restored St. Charles kitchen with stainless counters and top-tier appliances: WOLF, Bosch, Fisher & Paykel, and Electrolux. East-facing rooms welcome morning light, while west-facing living and dining areas showcase sunset views over the lake. Additional features include a whole-property generator, new HVAC, a heated/cooled pool, and a paneled two-car garage. Do not miss this rare opportunity to own a private, flexible retreat in one of Baton Rouge's most desirable neighborhoods.
