Property Details
Description:
Situated on a large lot on a quiet street, this unique Mid-Century Modern residence embodies tranquility and modernism with natural materials, expansive glass-filled walls and a bright sunroom that overlooks the almost half acre property.
A 3 bedroom plus office, 2 full bathroom home respects its original design while breathing new life into its iconic elements with over 2,500 heated and cooled square feet.
The home undertook a thoughtful and comprehensive restoration in 2023. Every detail has been approached with respect for the home’s original 1959 design, replacing and revitalizing what time had worn down. Extensive updates include new wood floors throughout, remodeled kitchen, living, bed and bathrooms, repaired eaves, improvements to the plumbing and electrical systems, paint and landscaping.
The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, a deep basin sink, new wood cabinets and center island with breakfast bar and pantry.
Featuring a large open-plan living space, off the kitchen is the dining room with built-in buffet and large slider doors overlooking the large sunroom.
The dramatic main living space features a lofty, peaked wood beamed ceiling, built-in cabinets, large panoramic clerestory windows looking out on the back patio and another set of sliding glass doors that lead into the sunroom.
A hallway leads to the three updated full bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
At the end of the hall, the large primary suite has a second set of the home’s signature feature, a wall of clerestory windows and includes an en suite bathroom with a built-in double vanity, jacuzzi spa bathtub, separate shower with three heads featuring a main rainfall shower head, two wall-mounted heads and a handheld shower wand. Walk-in closet in bathroom.
Guest bedrooms have original custom closets with built-in shelves and drawers.
Off the main living space is the mid-century home office with a wall of custom built-in bookshelves and a built-in desk for flexible storage space. Featuring a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and emphasizing functionality with minimalist elegance, this one-of-a-kind space offers abundant natural light and mod design elements like built-in magazine racks and a vintage rolling library ladder.
The iconic conditioned sunroom with its spacious layout, high beamed ceiling and ample natural light offers a serene retreat which is a flexible multi-purpose space that can be easily reconfigured for various functions.
This mid-century gem, with its clean lines and harmonious integration with nature, is located in the Ardenwood neighborhood wedged between Old Goodwood and Mid-City Baton Rouge. A lovingly maintained home that honors its architectural legacy with enhanced livability. Located just five miles from both downtown and the LSU campus, this Eastwood Drive home is walking distance to Goodwood Park, restaurants like Superior Grill, coffeeshops, the Mid-City Merchant’s District, the new Rouse’s Market and is in the Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School district.
