6038 Jefferson Hwy - easily one of the most recognized houses in Baton Rouge! With its soft yellow hue, white columns and lovely front porch - a history of families from doctors, politicians, and even authors have lovingly cared for and called it home. Originally part of land owned by Goodwood Plantation, today this 4 BD, 4 BA, Mid-City gem on .77 acres shines with modern amenities, a 1,520 sqft GUEST HOUSE, a SWIMMING POOL, and is completely fenced with an electric entry gate. Southern ambiance starts at the front porch with an arched transom above the front door, welcoming guests to its inviting interior appointed with beautiful oak floors throughout the first floor. The main living room has an original fireplace with built-in shelving and flows into a large dining room with partitioned accordion French doors. Here gatherings and everyday living happen effortlessly between the renovated kitchen's white marble countertops, custom cabinets and Thermador appliances, and the large sunroom's wall of windows and door leading to the back patio and yard. The downstairs primary suite's luxurious bathroom boasts heated floors, walk-in closets, a claw foot tub and a huge walk-in shower. Two additional guest bedrooms, each with on-suite bathrooms complete the 1st floor, while a 4th bedroom and bathroom, a bonus room, and tons of storage grace the 2nd floor!
