Wonderful Renovated “Craftsman Style” Vintage Home, built in 1951, has been in the same family for almost 60 years. Custom-built originally by the owner’s father, the present seller bought his boyhood home and lovingly refurbished it four years ago. Set on a Corner Lot along Whitehead Boulevard, where 90-year-old Live Oaks drape the street, the home is a short 2-block walk to the Levee Top Park at the Old Ferry Landing in Port Allen. A very sought-after neighborhood, “The Oaks” is a Community where neighbors know each by name and children still walk to school. And the Location is Very Convenient with easy access to I10, making LSU, Downtown Baton Rouge, and everything the “big city” has to offer just minutes away. Some of the Recent Updates include New Appliances, Plumbing, Light Fixtures and Recessed Lighting, Architectural Roof, AC / Heat, Vinyl Siding, Bathrooms, Windows, Hardware, Gleaming Oak Floors refinished, and Wainscot, Crown, Beaded Board, and Cornice Molding details throughout. Two of the bedrooms still have carpeting, but the wood floors are under them as well. There are decorator colors throughout this near 1,800 Living Area home, and all of the blinds, drapes, and curtains will remain. In the true artisan style, there are built-ins galore as well as Lots of Closets, so storage space is a non-issue! Guests are welcomed through the front entry into a Foyer adjacent to the Living Area. A Very Spacious Room serves as the Dining and Living Area, separated by Design with use of different Ceiling Treatments and Moldings. One wall of the living room features an expansive Window Seat that overlooks the Alley of Oaks on the Boulevard. On the opposite wall, Built-in Bookshelves flank Cabinetry that houses an unusual built-in piano with space above for a large Flat screen. True to the era of the 50's style, the home’s Kitchen is a very long (27-foot) Galley Design with warm colors and New Appliances. The flooring, countertops, and backsplash of the kitchen are covered with Porcelain Tiles. One end of the room features a Bar / China Hutch and Built-In Breakfast Nook with Porcelain Tile tabletop, matching the rest of the kitchen. Along one wall in the kitchen is a bank of built in Cabinets / Cupboards, with varying depths, that provide storage space for everything from pantry items, to china and glassware, to brooms and mops. The chef in the family will love the Cooking Alcove with its Oversized Range / Oven and Stainless Shelf, Spice Racks, and Vented Hood. A massive Butcher Block countertop is conveniently located next to the stove. Behind the electric range there is a gas connection should a new owner prefer cooking with gas. The Bed and Bath wing of the home has a Master Suite with its own bath, very large Guest Bedroom, a 3rd Bedroom that is presently an office, and Full Bath off the hallway. Renovations in both Bathrooms included New Fixtures, Hardware, and Cabinetry. The Master Bath features Double Shower Heads in the tub / shower, while the Hall Bath has a lovely “Bowl Sink” on Furniture Pedestal. Built-In Furniture in the Guest Bedroom maximizes the already spacious 12 x 20 room, where there is even a Sewing Center built in to one corner. Making a great place to gather with family and friends during nice weather, the 246 square foot Screened Porch is accessible from the back porch or inside and affords Great Views on 3 sides of the corner lot. This porch could easily be closed or glassed in to create a formal dining room or other living space. The 635 square foot Garage / Workshop is located to the rear of the home and is accessible from the side street. There's room for parking 2 cars with plenty of space left over for storage and work areas, and it is a surprisingly cheerful place because of several large windows. Adjacent to this garage is a Double Carport addition for more covered parking. A 16 x 12 detached storage building, covered in vinyl like the home, makes a great potting shed / yard tool storage area. From the great curb appeal and mature landscaping to the renovated interior, you will be proud to call this place home!
