Set along Baton Rouge's well-known Highland Road, this home offers the best of both presence and comfort. Sitting on a .7-acre corner lot, it enjoys a sense of space and neighborhood connection that's hard to find. The curb appeal makes a strong first impression, but once inside, the home immediately feels inviting. Iron-framed glass doors bring in natural light while adding security, and wood floors throughout the main level create a warm, cohesive feel. The open living and dining area features dark-stained beams, high end light fixtures, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace--an easy place to gather or unwind. Just off the living room is a study with automatic shades and a full wall of bookshelves, perfect for a home office, playroom, or quiet retreat. The kitchen is designed for everyday life and entertaining alike, with dual islands, quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, ample storage, and views of the neighborhood lake and evening sunsets. The first floor includes 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with the primary suite being filled with natural light, offering dual walk-in closets and a well-appointed bath with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and separate shower. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, two full baths, with a bonus room and generously sized closets throughout. Outside, the backyard is calm and shaded by a beautiful oak tree, featuring an outdoor kitchen, extended patio, and full fencing--ideal for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Conveniently located on the St. George bus route and just minutes from St. Jude and CCL, this home is one that truly fits the way people live.
