Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a fully renovated A. Hays Town estate on one of Baton Rouge's most prestigious stretches of Highland Road. Situated on a 2.29-acre double lot backing to Bayou Fountain, this 6,500 square foot home honors Town's iconic Southern architectural style while offering modern luxury throughout. The sellers completed an extensive renovation in 2020, thoughtfully updating nearly every system and surface while preserving the character and craftsmanship that define a true Hays Town design. The home features 5 bedrooms with 6 full and 2 half baths, multiple living areas including a formal living room, family/kids living space, and a private library. Signature details include 10 foot ceilings, interior brick, antique pine floors, cypress ceilings and beams, and classic archways. The gourmet kitchen is complemented by a fully equipped scullery kitchen with additional sink, refrigerator, wine storage, pantry space, and pellet ice machine. Viking appliances and a 6-burner gas range elevate everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-style bathroom featuring dual vanities, an oversized walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and bidet. The custom primary closet includes an island, washer and dryer, and built-in gun safe. Outdoors, the estate is designed for recreation and relaxation with a gunite pool, pickleball/basketball court, commercial Bull grill with Viking vent hood, gated entry, and extensive parking. A detached workout/guest house offers a full bath, while the pool house includes a half bath and cold plunge for a true resort-style experience. This exceptional property blends architectural heritage with modern comfort in a truly private estate setting.
