This historic Baton Rouge Garden District home, eligible for designation on the National Registry of Historical Places, is a must see!!! The lovely home situated on one and one half lots on beautiful, quiet Tulip Street was purchased by the current owner from the original owners who designed and built the home in 1936. The over-sized fireplace in the living room suggests warm, cozy evenings of family time together with friends during winter months while the openness of the home and its back yard bring welcome to out-door entertaining. Original to the home are gorgeous chandeliers, oak floors, doors and windows, and a stairwell leading to the 500+ SqFt second floor attic space not counted in square footage. This space is ready to be converted to an additional bedroom, office, or childrens playroom. While staying true to the classic style and architecture of the original design of this cottage home, the current owner has made updates in keeping with the integrity of the home. Old, solid cypress kitchen cabinets (re-used from a walk-way) have been added. Cypress floors have been added in sitting room, closets have been enlarged, and electrical and plumbing have been completed. This beautiful, classic home is not only historic; but it is one of a kind never to be duplicated in its authenticity. Its 1850 square feet featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, its open living room and dining room together with a charming sitting room leading into the lovely kitchen will make you want to continue to the wonderful existing office/utility room. Then comes an out-door landing and beyond...it is charming, and it feels like home.
