Historical interest and architectural significance unite in this beautiful home on Lydia Avenue in the heart of Baton Rouge. Built in 1936 for Huey P. Long's sister-in-law, the home was remodeled in 1962 by the late A. Hays Town and updated in 1994. Mr. Town's signature Southern style is seen throughout the 2,974 Sq Ft home where he added bricks and cypress brought from Natchez and also created the lovely pool and cabana featuring an outdoor kitchen, showers and bathroom. The home has 3 large bedrooms, walk-in closets, 2 1/2 baths, wood and slate floors in addition to a 31x15 family room, a dining room, fireplace, and a sunroom. A homeowner's delight is found in the magnificent "heart of the home" kitchen with its old cypress floor-to-ceiling cabinets spanning one whole wall, granite, and slate counter tops, and an island cook-top. Whether spending a quiet evening relaxing in a peaceful setting or entertaining on a grand and elegant scale this is a home that offers and embraces it all!
