Major Price Improvement — Incredible opportunity! Looking for a great buy in one of Baton Rouge's most desirable neighborhoods with lots of possibilities? This charming 3BR/2BA Capital Heights cottage offers nearly 1,600 sq. ft. of character, comfort, and an unbeatable Mid City lifestyle.

Features include original wood floors, abundant natural light, beautiful built-ins, two spacious living areas, a wet bar, and a breakfast area with charming bay window banquette seating. The flexible floor plan includes a rear keeping room ideal as a second den, playroom, office, or TV room.

Roof and AC are approximately 15 years old. Existing FHA loan with an interest rate of approximately 3.125% may be assumable for qualified buyers; however, buyer should verify all requirements and be prepared to address roof concerns. Priced to sell quickly and offering tremendous potential for an owner-occupant, investor, or buyer looking to make it their own. Seller to make no repairs or allowances.
