3968 Garden View Dr Baton Rouge, LA 70809

Welcome to this custom-designed 3-bedroom home, tucked away in a small neighborhood just minutes from both interstates. This one-owner home has been well-maintained and has so many extras! Beautiful wood floors, custom millwork, and high ceilings add to the elegance. The kitchen, updated in 2012, includes stainless steel appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, granite countertops, and an island with open shelves and room for seating. A decorative backsplash showcasing a French Quarter scene painted by Louisiana artist Katherine Rutledge adds a unique touch to this beautiful space. An exterior door leads from the kitchen to a side patio facing one of the many common areas in the neighborhood and is a perfect spot for grilling. The nearby laundry room offers cabinets for storage, a second refrigerator, and an LG front-load washer and dryer that will stay with the home. The living and dining areas share one spacious room with a tray ceiling, cozy wood-burning fireplace and an abundance of windows that fill it with natural light. In the master suite, you'll find a custom shower with stone accents, a relaxing jetted tub, and a walk-in closet. A second full bathroom near the other two bedrooms has a shower only. The architect thought of everything…he specifically designed this house so that the morning sun shines in the main living area instead of the bedrooms! A door leads directly from the master bedroom to a small backyard with a brick patio, which is enclosed by a wrought iron fence and offers gated access to another common area maintained by the HOA. Other exterior features include a landscaped yard with an in-ground sprinkler system and French drains and a covered breezeway leading to the front door. The home has a two-car garage with an interior storage room and guest parking is conveniently located nearby. Eligible for 100% financing and located in flood zone X. AC was replaced in 2017. This charming, low-maintenance home is ready for its next owner.
