May we introduce you to a modern day fairytale? Swooning is a must at the "Crown Jewel of City Park"! This idyllic storybook facade is a treasured Baton Rouge landmark nestled under the Lakeshore Live Oaks & fronted by the golf greens. Inside the main house are 4 classic bedrooms spanning the 1st & 2nd levels with the original wood floors & millwork. There is also an enchanting caretaker's cottage with one bedroom/bath, kitchenette + a little unexpected magic(ie hidden storage).The main foyer opens to a nostalgic staircase & a new brick-clad half bath for guests. Moving into the living room is the wood-burning fireplace that will provide the backdrop for cherished memories to be made. A sunny siren's song will pull you into the adjacent den with a built-in bar, vaulted ceilings & terracotta tile floors. Sunlight is the hero of this space emphasized by floor to ceiling windows with views of the new deck & landscaped courtyard. The primary bedroom has a sweeping layout, double walk-in closets & spacious ensuite bath. Previous improvements include Pella windows, an architecural shingle roof replacement on both structures in (2009), copper awnings & gutters. The outdoor oasis includes a gunite lap-pool with cascading slate fountain, cool-tile decking under the covered outdoor living space, outdoor shower, seperate pool bath with washer/dryer area, a large climate controlled workshop/storage, a 22kw Generac generator, bluestone pavers, automated gate & double carport. To add to the folklore, the structure is total masonry construction, which is one of the most durable building methods for centuries.
